The Results
8 ) Tottenham Hotspur FA Cup Final Squad - Ossie's Dream (Spurs Are On Their Way To Wembley) 3.12 7 ) Headgirl - Please Don't Touch 5.47 6 ) Champaign - How 'Bout Us 5.65 5 ) Coast To Coast - (Do) The Hucklebuck 5.94 4 ) Landscape - Einstein A Go-Go 7.35 3 ) Duran Duran - Girls On Film 8.00 2 ) Blondie - Rapture 8.41 1 ) Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Joan Of Arc 8.76
I don't think there was any doubt Tottenham Hotspur FA Cup Final Squad would finish last. OMD score their win hattrick following Maid Of Orleans and Souvenir - Joan Of Arc being the highest points of the three.

Chas & Dave also did quite badly in 1982 with their #2 finishing 3rd from bottom, but a higher score than here, 4.35
Bottom were the England World Cup Squad with a worse score than Tottenham here.
So with slightly better score of 3.47, "We Have A Dream" was the best scoring football song of the 1980s (that reached the top 5).

Great scoring for #5 records - any of the top 3 would have been a worthy winner. Thanks for organising, Smurfie
