The 70s, I am Spanish, and all the football matches of Spanish Liga I have seen in the 70s were in B/W, The Big Match, Match of the Day.. maybe 2 of the greatest shows i've ever seen. And that's not all: The football, the crowd, the muddy pitches, the goals.. Everything was different. The players played proud to the shirt (sometimes dirty shirt)... and all was familiar, without marketing or money.. Now all have passed, football is just a market, but everybody will be glad to see those pictures.

This is one of the best theme tunes around. Reminds me of many a Sunday afternoon in front of the telly (after excusing myself from lunch early!)
Remember, Modern Football is Rubbish!

@Mancunian1001 Get in ! As an increasingly bored Premier League fan who thinks the FC Utd boys have got it spot on, that might just be the reason I start coming to watch Stalybridge on a Saturday. I'll always love BWFC but modern Sky infected football's just not the same. We are all free men after all. Shove yer corporate bollocks up yer arse.

Now lovingly used by Stalybridge Celtic AFC at every home match as the pre-match theme.

Is there Harpsichord in the theme tune?!

Interesting to see people still standing in the terraces, is it just me or are the goals further back from the stands than they were back then?

@Mulderre: Crikey! Two years ago some Spanish bloke described English football perfectly. Well done mate! A great time when football meant something more than money. Very sad.

Now that brings back memories of when I was a lad. Before I became old and bitter and twisted!

55 seconds in days of film camera's. baldy loading up another film while smoking at the same time, what a guy and multi talented man. god bless him.
Good knowledge. I reckon it was 74, as a different tune was used from 72 to 74 according to the ITV regional highlights page. The newer version of the tune was used on the end titles, wasn't it?
