Whilst looking for World of Sport (Dickie Davies RIP) clips I came across this from 1973; interesting for numerous reasons but also featuring a highly memorable football-inspired jingle that's likely to trigger latent memories for anyone old enough to remember the early-1970s. Plus there's the sound of teleprinters prompting the question: Did World of Sport ever feature a teleprinter for results like Grandstand did? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etlGXr-sIeY #DickieDavies #WorldOfSport

Now _this_ is the vanilla #KPM version that I was expecting.

It's amazing what the 45s of some 1960s telly theme tunes were like. I can think of a handful that, like here, were completely unlike what was broadcast, yet were by the original artists rather than someone else's cover versions.

At last, I can use the #DickieDavies hashtag. I've found the right theme tune.

That said, this is not #WorldOfSport as we know it.

Sad to hear about the death of #DickieDavies.

People of my era will all likely have similar memories of him sitting in the studio with his trademark 'tache and badger striped hair introducing wrestling with Kent Walton ... or water-skiing from Nottingham ... for me, usually around my nan's house eating hot buttered crumpets and seedy cake for lunch. #WorldOfSport #nostalgia #1980s
