Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ rang out across Wembley as England fans celebrated their team’s victory in the Euro 2020 semi-final. It has become an anthem for many sports in England, from darts to rugby league, with fans revelling in the thought that “good times never seemed so good”. It is claimed that during a game at the Red Sox’s Fenway Park stadium in 1997, Amy Tobey, an employee in charge of ball-park music, played ‘Sweet Caroline’ because someone she knew had just had a baby named Caroline. Before you see #ENG in the #EURO2020 final on Sunday evening, watch our #ChallengeCup finalist Castleford Tigers in the afternoon! ‘Sweet Caroline’ is only played after a victory, however, so the Tigers fans will be hoping it will ring around Wembley at the final whistle to the Betfred Challenge Cup final against St Helens on Saturday week.
