I'm sitting on a beach listening to my 1000+ track playlist on shuffle and this blast from the past just flooded my ear buds and made me smile :smile: 

It's titled Heavy Action by Johnny Pearson (from 1970) but you might recall it as the theme for Superstars (70s & 80s BBC TV programme) and/or Monday Night Football (American Football on USA networks but now also broadcast in UK via Channel 5).

Just wondering what other sports TV theme tunes you might remember with fondness ... I'm guessing there is a limitless list of crackers ?

    And they said that in our time, all that's good will fall from grace, even Saints would turn their face, in our time.

    I don’t like what they did to that. Put it back as it was. 

    The Booker T thing for the cricket is cool. 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    The bit of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' that BBC used to use for their F1 coverage.

    Very nostalgic and regretful after being touched by the hand of god.
