Granada Kick Off - Opening Titles 1972

1972 titles and theme tune for Granada's Friday evening football preview show Kick Off presented by Gerald Sinstadt.
Presumably the theme is another of Derek Hilton's compositions.

I don't know who came up with this, but it makes me laugh every time I hear it!

Great to see these. Bizarre music though perhaps appropriate to accompany some lighter match images instead of the usual goal-mouth action.

@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE ITV4 does show repeats of The Big Match most Saturdays but I agree it would be good to have repeats of Kick-Off and other regional highlights programmes. There are a few Kick-Off editions on YT but I wish there were a lot more.

@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE The Big Match repeats are currently going through the 1980-1981 season and they are on most weeks. I would prefer to see 1970s editions but I'm glad to see any older football action. They did show some 1970s repeats but with quite a few gaps, perhaps because some episodes unfortunately are no longer available.
