And a special shout for the theme for Radio 4's PM from 1988.

No sport themes?

Keith Mansfield's Grandstand theme, Barry Stoller's MOTD theme, Tony Hatch's Sportsnight theme, Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain", Booker T. & the M.G.'s "Soul Limbo", the Doug Wood Band's "Drag Racer" and Johnny Pearson's "Heavy Action" are all classics - but another one I've always liked is the Sport on Friday theme, "Hitting Home" by John Devereaux and David Reilly:

And here's a sport theme from Ireland I've always liked, too, and would love to hear in full - RTE's showjumping theme from the mid '90s to the mid 2000s.
