Vauxhall launches new footy-themed TV ad

Luton-based carmaker Vauxhall has launched a new TV advertising campaign ahead of the Euro 2012 football tournament.

The firm has called on England stars past and present for the follow up to its popular Home Nations ad, which received its debut ahead of the England v Belgium game on June 2nd at Wembley Stadium.

Including original music by Noel Gallagher, the advert reflects how England fans "stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the players, supporting the team and bringing the nation together".

Former Liverpool and England star John Barnes, who features in the Vauxhall advert, commented: "As an England fan I share the same excitement that all fans feel before a big game.

"I really enjoyed standing alongside other England fans in the Vauxhall TV ad and can't wait to support the boys this summer in Poland and the Ukraine."

England's first game of the tournament will see the team take on France on Monday June 11th.
