New Order track football fans' favourite

New Order's 'World In Motion' has been voted the best World Cup song by football fans in a Littlewoods Pools survey of 1500 people.

New Order's 1990 football hit 'World In Motion' has been named the best World Cup song by football fans, which isn't all that surprising, given that it is the best World Cup song.

In the survey of 1500 football fans by Littlewoods Pools, 'Nessun Dorma' was named second best World Cup song - though technically speaking it wasn't really a World Cup song at all, rather it was the theme music used by the BBC for their coverage of the 1990 tournament.

The Lightning Seeds / David Baddiel / Frank Skinner's 'Three Lions' was third favourite, with Fat Les' 'Vindaloo' coming fourth. 1982's official England team song 'This Time (We'll Get It Right)' was voted the worst.
