England followers attacked in road after singing ‘Ten German Bombers’ outdoors bar
England fans were attacked in a street in Benidorm after singing ‘Ten German Bombers’ outside a bar.
The throng of Three Lions supporters were chanting the controversial song in a packed street. A local tried to drive his car through them but they blocked his path.
Some of them were boozing in the street as they holidayed during Euro 2024. Others sat on pals’ shoulders in the crowded road.

The football fans banged on the roof of his silver car outside the Queens Arms English Pub in the Spanish holiday resort. But the angry man got out the car and whacked one wearing the new England away shirt in the face.
He then turned his attention to two others as they tried to flee, punching them both. The burly man then went back and hit the first supporter three more times. A motorbike was knocked over in the melee as the fans fled.

It happened last Thursday (June 27), as reported on NeedToKnow. One England fan joked online: “I would rather be in a pile of horse poo for a week than in Benidorm right now.”
Another said: “Why is it always that when I see England fans, I see alcohol?” A third supporter said: “Picked on wrong bloke there.” And a fourth added: “One man versus English dafties and the man don’t even break a sweat.”
Ten German Bombers is a chant about the RAF shooting down Luftwaffe planes during World War Two. The FA has repeatedly warned fans that they risk bans if they are caught singing the song, with lyrics referring to Britain’s conflict with the Nazis nearly 80 years ago, at England games.

The incident in Benidorm happened after England’s 0-0 draw versus Slovenia on Tuesday (June 25) which meant they finished top of their group. Gareth Southgate’s men won 2-1 last night (Jun 30) versus Slovakia in the last 16 knockout game thanks to goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
They now face Switzerland on Saturday evening (July 6) in the quarter-finals.
