I think the bbc tune from 1986 was better. Did it have the Italian scorer from the 82 final with veins pulsing at the end of it?

No I’m thinking of the 82 theme tune.

They portrayed that clip of Sir Bob as him hanging his head in despair after we didn't win the first two games. He said after he was just listening to Frank Sinatra on a Walkman

Marco Tardelli, iconic

I was in a rock bar in Manchester a few years back (on a quiet Sunday night) and they played the BBC Sportsnight theme at one point. Banger of a tune.

Was it Jilly’s Rockworld?

‘Aztec lightning’ - was the first single I owned

Will have mentioned this before but central sports and central tv plays a huge role in my being a Wolves fan. Living in Corby they were clearly confused about where or what we were, so you could tune in ITV Central and ITV Anglia on most TV sets and aerials in our area. So it was seeing Wolves on there that made me start supporting as coincided with having a random poster from either match or shoot, and getting the Manders kit on holiday.

Weird to think that other than Gladiators and Strictly, my own kid (9) watches zero actual broadcasted TV as just has far too much other choice.

You can see on that Goals Extra clip I posted how mental the 90s "Central" TV area was.

Wolves, Port Vale, Crewe, Oxford, Chesterfield, Northampton, Mansfield, Shrewsbury and Swindon are not all the same area!

Nah it was like 2023 and apparently that place closed in 2010.

Can't remember what it was called but it was the only seemingly decent place that was open after 11pm.

Had a quick look and can't find it, as it's down one of those "back of" Streets somewhere around the Northern Quarter.
