What's the best ever theme tune to a sports program?

Its 5.12. Time for Sportsreport

Now that takes me back to the days when I used to go to the Goldstone with my Dad. We'd park up in Shirley Drive or Wilbury Avenue, and it was always coming on just as we got in the car to go home.

Is James Alexander Gordon still alive? I never hear it any more, owing to being in the pub

So ignoring the video, tell me which sporting event this makes you think of?

(the BBC use the same music every year)

I had no idea ITV used the same theme tune for Saint & Greavsie as they did for Mexico 86, I consider myself fixtured.

And they're talking about the Albion in that episode brief clip of the crumbling Goldstone terraces

Either "The Chain" or the MOTD theme for me.

Thats the one, great tune. Thanks. Never knew it was written by Mark Knopfler, what an under rated musician he is, so many top tunes.

Why do they run out to it though?

I think Mark Knopfler grew up local to that area, not sure if he's a fan or not. The film was set in Scotland so it's not that.

I have no idea really

Blimey! I remember 'The Match' - and their 'innovation' of sticking a camera in the goal net...

wouldn't consider it the greatest, but the Beijing Olympics BBC theme really sticks in my head. Seeing as it was done by the guys who made the Gorillaz. Not the greatest of all time, but still pretty memorable. In fact, we should have made them done the 2012 olympics, then we wouldn't have two metallic blobs as mascots.

Made my spine tingle when I walked into the London Marathon expo in 2007 and heard this.

It was my first time, so really made me feel it was real after all the months of training.

Back in 80's I bought a BBC LP with loads of sporting themes on it.

Bloody cheapskates. They just recycled ITV's music for Mexico 86. Disgrace.

 

[ROSM]

All these great sports tunes and surprisingly many ITV ones. But what about this Don of themes

Made all the more complete if you can still hear Brian Moore growling his way through England's Second Round Game against Belgium. He was a legend and the only time ITV had a decent commentator,
