Old School Footy Theme Music...

[windogs]

G'day, I was hoping that someone here might be able to help me out.

I'm trying to find the song that Channel 7 used to use during their highlights and intros. They might well still use it as they go to and from ads during that "Footy Flashbacks" show that is on the weekends.

It is a kinda rollicking orchestral number, I'm sure it is very recognisible to you all... I don't think it has any words, but once you hear it, you know that it is all about sport.

It is possible that it came from coverage of other sports in America, but my searching so far has not gone too well.

Obviously very hard how a song sounds in words....

Anyway, I'd really appreciate any tips or suggestions that people might have. Thanks a lot!

What about the old - if you don't want to know the scores - look away now....

"Right on the tip of my tounge...."

Simpler times.

 

[Contra Mundum]

I always loved the music before "The Winners" on the ABC

God I loved hearing that.

Brings back so many awesome memories growing up with football during the 90's

Haha. Check out some of the live clips of the same song...

Quite strange to see it being played to a live audience! I mean, when I hear it all I can think of is being a kid with my arse parked on the floor in front of the TV recording the Saturday replay on the VCR. Yet here are some old rockers belting it out to a crowd and loving it!

Does anyone know the name of the song in electrifying 80s it's the main tune non lyrical in background of most of the highlights

Former Australian champion Dave Russell at one point used to enter the ring to this music.
He was extremely popular and his entrance to this music used to whip the crowd into a frenzy.
Great days ...

Reminds me of Chris Conroy's World Of Boats that used to be on tv in the 80s!

 

[Gibbke]

Here's the Emerson, Lake & Palmer adaptation of Copeland's Fanfare. Yup, it was most certainly used as the theme to CCWO Boats...!

Some of the classics from 7 over the years.

The ‘Football 88/89’ intro’s my favourite - and the first one I remember.

That's "mega-race" by Patrick Wilson.


These old intro themes are usually able to be traced back to an album of themes which networks across the globe were able to license.
