Football icon John Barnes got a number of middle-aged ladies and football fans into the World Cup spirit during an awards ceremony at Ashton FC. See the video below.
Barnes was a special guest at the event, which attracted over 1,200 guests. Barnes performed the track from New Order's iconic football anthem, 'World In Motion', unrehearsed and without informing organisers or audience members. All were thrilled.
"He was mobbed afterwards. It made the night. It was amazing," said Ashton FC chairman Ian Jones.
"He weren't expecting it, and it wasn't discussed before. It was amazing, really."
Barnes was joined by a number of mums during the performance. See it below.
'World In Motion' by New Order (featuring John Barnes) was a No.1 single in 1990 when it was first released and deservedly so - it is one of the best football songs of all time.
