Back in the good old days.

Nice! Actually titled "Drive to the Boatyard" which suggests it was a piece of library music rather than a commission.

Has to be.

World Cup 1990

This is the best for me. Takes me back to my youth and boxing glory days.

Great thread. So many great tunes. I picked Grandstand but they are all special.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Never been skiing, but the Ski Sunday music was absolute top drawer

Is there any reason Gladiators wasn't included!!!!

Because Crodo didn't start the thread

 

[SK1NT]

Yes, this.

Has to be.

I thought the snooker had it sewn up (love snooker, love the theme) but then heard the big fight theme for the first time in probably 2 decades and thought wow this could be the winner... but then this Fleetwood Mac classic was posted... Saw them live at the O2 about 7 years ago... they opened up with the chain and they were incredible.

1) F1
2) Snooker
3) Fight Night

It's a photo finish, but Grandstand wins out over Soul Limbo for me.

 

[A1X]

Soul Limbo for radio cricket
Mambo No.5 for TV cricket

 

[The Clamp]

Soul Limbo
Ski Sunday

I love the Grandstand theme, but the BBC cricket theme is so special.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Big Match 73-80 for me.

It was a toss up between Ski Sunday and Cricket for me, but then decided on Cricket.
