What a legend Brian Moore was. R.I.P. Spot on that ITV should repeat The Big Match Revisited. Seeing this and all the old Match Of The Day on ESPN Classic makes you realise how good football was then.

Brian Moore was the best commentator of them all. He just said enough & let the game breathe instead of being a motormouth like the Motson brigade.

Does anyone know if this theme were used by a program in the US, possibly on PBS? It sounds strangely familiar?

Amazing 'graphics' for the period. Go well with the music - which of course the other ITV companies used for each of their versions of "The Big Match" but with varying title sequences. I think the problem with modern TV graphics is that there's so much on the screen, none of it actually sinks in. Perceptibility and directness were the aim of the game in the 70s/80s, not "brand image", "market positioning" and "creative execution". It worked.

Brian Moore is the greatest commentator ever.
Whenever I hear any of his calls, it brings back great memories of Italia '90, USA '94, as well as countless European/English Premier matches from the 90's.....

No it wasn't - he actually died that day.
The last match he commentated on was the 1998 World Cup Final in Paris.
