HE donned his Saints shirt, cleared his throat and sang his heart out for his country.

Southampton born and bred football mad Martyn Price joined fans from each of England’s football clubs to record a World Cup anthem ‘We’re England Underneath’ to raise cash for a Southampton-based charity.

The 29-year-old was picked to be the Southampton FC representative on the single which raises money for the charity Kick4Life, set up by brothers Steve and Pete Fleming to transform the lives of some of Africa’s most disadvantaged children.

Martyn joined fans from 90 other clubs to chant in the background of the song from Thomas Spencer-Wortley.

He also got to share the screen with former Southampton goalkeeper and England’s most capped player Peter Shilton who featured in the video.

Martyn, said: “They wanted a fan from every English football club to create a football crowd atmosphere and do some chanting in the background.”

Despite the message behind the song being one of harmony in sport, it didn’t stop some Saints and Pompey rivalry at the recording.

Martyn, said: “The atmosphere was really light-hearted and there was lots of banter but there was one point when they tried to make me sit next to the Pompey fan. We weren’t having that!”

The track is raising funds for the charity that supports children and orphans affected by HIV in Lesotho in southern Africa through the popularity of football. It is a cause that Martyn has been involved in since 2005.

In 2007 Martyn, a broker with Southampton based Hilton-Baird Financial Solutions, went to Lesotho to see the work the charity does first hand.

Martyn, said: “Football is one of the backbones of our nation and to record a World Cup song was a wonderful way to raise vital funds that will help thousands of people in Lesotho in the attempt to tackle HIV.”

“It just takes one kick to score a goal and one little act of kindness to change these children’s lives.”

The World Cup song can be downloaded from iTunes.
