I seriously never thought I would hear this again! I had to almost plead with my folks to let me stay up for this, what with school the next day!! Happy days!!
@drrrink00 Yes, there was a better one from about 1982 onwards, mainly associated with Steve Rider and European finals such as Spurs in the UEFA and Everton in CWC. Still trying to find that one. This theme sounds like it's going to turn into Russ Abbot's Atmosphere.
Hi There This was February 1981. I should have the others as I used to record most things football back then, its just a matter of finding them. If I do I will add them. Thanks
There were two themes tunes to this programme,1982 to 1986,[this video and 1986 to 1990.] In the days of Regional ITV LWT produced World of Sport because London Weekend Television was the London Broadcaster. Weekdays THAMES who therefore had to produce and make the theme tunes for Medweek Sports Special. THAMES TELEVISION also produced SPORTSWORLD when ITV started 24 hour television from 1985 -1987 and was the first programme to show European Football Highlights. But with the start of Pan-European Satellite Broadcasters like SCREENSPORT 1985-1993 and EUROSPORT 1989-1991 SKY EUROSPORT TF1 France 1991 -on wards this soon came an irleveance. Both Medweek Sport Special themes are on You Tube somewhere. A former disabled carer from the New Forest. GOD BLESS!
forgot how goddamn awful this theme tune was. on one side u had this with bloody torville and dean every week, or sportsnight (far superior theme) with bloody skiing all the time!!

Hi There
Coventry won the first leg 3-2 with a last minute goal
West Ham won the second leg 2-0, they also got a last minute goal
Does anyone have theme tune for Midweek Sports Special from the 80's on ITV? One of the best Sports theme tunes of all time!
Yes would be great if you've got Midweek Sport Special from the mid 80s! Keep the good stuff coming!!!!!
