1970 Back Home - England World Cup Squad

1982 This Time (We'll Get it Right) - England World Cup Squad

1986 We've Got the Whole World at Our Feet - England World Cup Squad

1990 World in Motion - New Order/England World Cup Squad

1998 (How Does it Feel to Be) On Top of the World - England United (Spice Girls, Lightning Seeds, Echo and the Bunnymen)

2002 We're On the Ball - Ant and Dec

2006 World at Your Feet - Embrace

No song 1994

Any Favourite songs (for the right or wrong reasons over the years) - Ally's Army - don't know whether to laugh or cry when I hear it - all I can remeber is that bloke Cubilass and that cracking strip they wore :shock: at least there was Archie's goal

A little number to the tune of ten green bottles

German Bombers

there were 10 german bombers in the air

there were 10 german bombers in the air
