If you want to hum something the fans would sing in the Terraces there's a couple.
"You'll never walk alone" by Gerry and the Pacemakers...sang by the Liverpool fans
"I'm forever blowing bubbles" by Michael Jackson
...actually no idea who actually sang it originally, but the West Ham United fans sing it.
Those are probably the two most famous "fan songs" in England.
Then there's always "land of hope and glory" which is sung in most footie stadiums, especially during European competitions.
If it's an actual recording you're looking for then Markies suggestion of New Order is probably the best..."we're playing for England....ENGERRRLAND!"
Of course there's always Arsenal's famous, "I'm nothing but a French *unt with a bunch of French *unts on the pitch" rendition.
