Top 10 of the best football connected songs.
The one thing Spurs do better than Arsenal
10 - Chris Waddle and Basil Boli - We've Got A Feeling
Christopher split from Glenn Hoddle over musical differences, and went to the French ghettos to team up with Basil for this hardcore rap classic:

9 - Fat Les - Vindaloo
Not the official France 98 song by England, but the one everyone remembers.

8 - Glenn and Chris - Diamond Lights
Surprisingly low, tbh - but I put a lot of thought into this. Great song, but not even their best.

7 - Liverpool Squad - The Anfield Rap
John Barnes rapping debut, in which he cannot even pronounce his own name but Bruce Grobblear had the best verse. Better things were coming for Barnes.

6 - Spurs and Chas and Dave - Hot Shot Tottenham.
Great song, made better by Coventry beating Spurs in the final despite the claims in the lyrics.

5 - Scotland World Cup Squad - Allys Tartan Army
Comedy gold, when Scotland actually thought they could win the World Cup, plus they got to mock England who didn't qualify.

4 - Glenn and Chris - It's Goodbye
Personally think this is actually a better song than this duo's more famous song, but it doesn't get the exposure it deserves. Hopefully this will change that.

3 - Spurs and Chas and Dave - Ossies Dream
Ardiles solo puts this so high. Obviously a good song cos it is Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock. But that line is magic, both in lyricism and delivery.

2 - Baddiel and Skinner - 3 Lions
If you were around in 96 then you can't but help feel great joy and nostalgia when listening to this. Perfect song for a near perfect summer for the English.

1 - New Order - World in Motion
Not too many surprises here. A great song, made better by the John Barnes rap.

I've been Jimmy Saville, they have been the top 10, you have been most welcome. Next week Rolf Harris will host, probably.
Top of the Pops.
