    One more, surely this deserves a mention. It's cringeworthy and brilliant in equal measures, but some of the lyrics and Uncle Colin's contribution still tug at my heartstrings:

    Worthy of a mention for being vaguely amusing.

    Chesterfield's song from 1996 is hardcore water boarding for the ears, an absolute dirge. I'm left imagining a torrential downpour and an open goal being missed with the ball getting stuck in the mud before it crossed the line and a camera cut to a slow motion shot of a supporter burying his head in his hands at the prospect of staying down forever.

    I had a look into who was behind the 1973 "Magpie Song" and wished I hadn't, assuming it's the same "with John Chambers" who was involved with Paper Lace.
    Reg Cooper, who wrote and sang it, must be the same Reg Cooper who apparently had a country music show on BBC Radio Nottingham in the 1970s, though oddly it's also claimed on his wiki page that he wrote a song recorded by John Denver and unless Cooper used a pseudonym, that turns out not to be the case - looking at the record label's writers credits.
