[@colinjennings3661]

Fantastic memories. I still remember a lot of those adverts now but c my remember any of the ads from last night!

[@Nuttybott]

3:18 That Vicks Sinex advert had been running since the mid 70s... :-)

[@KevinM913]

I love the old Midland Bank animated commercial.

[@petercoekin5419]

That star soccer theme tune brings back memories ❤

[@darren2514fv]

The Brian Moore credit which meant the second game on ATV was the Arsenal v Manchester United game

[@YeOldeFootballChannel]

No way they could show a 0-0 draw as a second game: it ended 2-1 for Arsenal.

[@darren2514fv]

Star Soccer still used the 1971 theme in 1980

[@anthonybailey1966]

Darren Hayward yep....the following season,the theme changed though....can't find any record of who did the next theme though....!

[@YeOldeFootballChannel]

In 1971 there were still using other theme.

[@hm_nn_5633]

There's another Star Soccer tune not this one ... always remember the voice of Hugh Johns.

[@southlondon63]

Weaned on lager like Skol and Harp and after a while realised it was utter piss water

[@darren2514fv]

Also it was the week before the announcement that ATV retained the Midlands franchise and ordered to change the name to Central

[@robertcomer2767]

What a bloody stupid decision that was. Central just ATV with a new name.

[@roberthorwat6747]

Stanley Baxter was the Michael Buble of the 70s and 80s but tons funnier.

[@trevordance5181]

No matter what persona Stanley Baxter took, and no matter how good his costume and make-up, his nose always gave him away! He was good though, very talented!

[@babaza1972]

The season that Villa went on to win the league

[@wallerpaul70]

No change with the Blues being Shite..

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@ Wallerpaul70: True, Paul. Villa forever!
