In 1994 Manchester United F.C. used the song as the basis for their FA Cup song "Come On You Reds", which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in May 1994.

The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.
