Best sporting TV theme ?
Many sporting great TV themes spring to mind such as
Ski Sunday - Pop Looks Bach
American Football - Holding Out for a Hero
Football - Match of the Day original theme
But just heard The Chain by Fleetwood Mac on Radio 2 and the instrumental excerpt from it for Formula 1 has to be the best and most inspired IMO.

Re: Best sporting TV theme ?
I’ve always had a soft spot for Grandstand, but I think that’s mostly driven by nostalgia.
So it’s got to be the snooker for me.

The 'Hocus Skynyrd' hybrid that is 'Drag Racer' by 'The Doug Wood Group'; aka the snooker theme. Thijs van Zant, maybe.

Re: Best sporting TV theme ?
Definitely Soul Limbo.
The first thing that enters into my head when hearing it is Cricket, then Gin and Tonic, then Richie Benaud.

Re: Best sporting TV theme ?
For all the fans of the Grandstand theme here it is performed live by Alan Hawkshaw (and the KPM Allstars), the man that brought you Dave Allen at Large, Countdown, Channel 4 News etc.

Has to be Sportsnight. Brings back memories of being allowed to stay up late to watch midweek football.
