    Memorable Sporting Event Music.

    Has there been anything better than the BBC's use of Nessun Dorma for the 1990 World Cup in Italy?



    I don't think there has.

    Has there every been anything less imaginative? I doubt it.

    However, their use of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain... now that was spot on.

    They could have gone for Boney M or some acid house, but I'm not convinced it would have accompanied Gazza and Maradona's tears in the footballing theatres of Turin and Rome in quite the same way.

    Agreed with the Fleetwood Mac tune though.

    Who could forget this foot-tapper?




    For those of you with black and white monitors, the green rep button is next to the red one.

    God only knows why, there was more chance of the Berlin Wall coming down than us going fokin' skiing.

    They should have gone for Joy Division - Failures.

    In fact they should do that for every tournament England are in.

    Can't tell me this didn't happen on purpose...



    Wasn't memorable so much for the music, but for the 'wardrobe malfunction' at the end.
