Barmy Army

[6] Throughout the 1990s, increased spending power, via a stronger British Pound at the time, enabled fans to take their "Atherton's Barmy Army" song overseas when following tours of the English national cricket team.

In the late 1990s, performers Richard Stilgoe and Peter Skellern recognised the need for an anthem for the loyal supporters of a team that regularly seemed to lose and wrote a stirring song called "The Barmy Army", which they included in their touring repertoire.

It can be found on their 1999 CD A Quiet Night Out, and humorously celebrates the English team's skill at "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory".

[3] During the 2019–20 English tour of South Africa, Sky Sports filmed a feature story entitled 25 Years of the Barmy Army to commemorate the group's 25-year anniversary.

[4] Hosted by Atherton, it covers the group's origins and characteristics, favourite countries to tour and favorite moments and features interviews with Nasser Hussain, Joe Root, and several members.

The term Barmy Army has also been used to describe the Devonshire football team Plymouth Argyle F.C., usually with a prefix of ‘Green and White’ during stadium-wide chants, although there is no association to the above groups.
