Eye of the tiger from Rocky and also the music when Rocky trains!

Also used to like Simply The Best when the rugby teams used to come on the field

The old channel four cricket music has to top this chart!

Queen put out some good ones too.

Jock Jams

Steve Bloomer's Watching

The BBC has some sports themes which have been running for decades, Match of the Day, Ski Sunday, Grandstand (before they pulled the show), World Snooker. There was also the Formula 1 theme tune before they lost it to ITV. The cricket music was awful but ironically also very catchy, and who could forget the music they use to introduce equestrian pursuit programmes? Only, er, I have.

I'm not saying these are good tunes, but they've become synonymous with some of the sports they introduce. Who can hear the Match of the Day theme tune and not think of football?

It's like hearing the William Tell Overture and not thinking of the Lone Ranger.

Ah, yes, "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac. Very good.

I also have a memory of back in the 1980's the BBC having an NBA highlights programme. The theme tune was excellent. I later found out it was a modified excerpt from Fantasia on Greensleeves by Vaughan Williams. Anyone remember it?

chariots of fire must be up there with the best

That was Booker T and The MG's... 'Soul Limbo'.... great track - really fitted cricket well.

The Ski Sunday BBC music was good...

Kickstart my heart by Motley Crue
We are the champions by Queen

That was the BBC cricket theme. Which was perfect for cricket, I agree. Channel 4 used 'Mambo Number 5' by Lou Bega.
