- Brian Moore gives us a sneak preview of the new ITV World Cup theme "Aztec Gold" which was to feature heavily in the ITV schedules for years to come, not just in the World Cup but then "The Big Match" for a couple of years, and then "Saint and Greavsie" right through until 1992 when ITV lost the league football franchise.
Followed by an ad break, a menu for Thursday evening and the intro for Thames' late night movie.

Man, I miss Brian Moore
The voice of football
Aztec Gold - classic!
So much nostalgia for the theme music!
I vividly remember watching that late evening (in Belfast), including the unusual newsflash - unusual in that it was ITN cooy, but read live by Thames' announcer Philip Ellsmore.
I cant remember what UTV did after the newsflash - most likely some adverts and either a short filler of a programme or straight to 'News at Bedtime'.
My 1st memories of watching a football World Cup when I was 8 years old
The last few days before a World Cup starts, it's like the few days before Christmas.
Like this music with Maradona celebrating in 1986.
Interesting newsflash - not just because it was delivered by Philip Elsmore at Thames rather than ITN themselves, but because the fact that the news was deemed to warrant a newsflash illustrates how high tensions around Argentina and the Falklands still were some four years after the war took place.
I also can't think of a more niche football programme than Michael Parkinson and Tom O'Connor arguing about whether George Best or Kevin Keegan was the better player.
JasonC1782 That "Who's the Greatest" wasn't just football. There was definitely a snooker one, Joe Davis v Steve Davis.
JasonC1782 I suppose that there wouldn't have been anyone left at ITN to deliver the newsflash given that this must have been broadcast around midnight and these were the days before overnight bulletins,
Having said that though, on TVArk, there's another example of Philip Elsmore voicing an ITN Newsflash, this time from 1983, so maybe it was a standard thing to get the Thames continuity announcer to deliver them.
Yeah u remember it was an afternoon show,Keegan won 9v1 or 10v0
Oh I see now it was in the evening haha think I must of seen a repeat then
Indeed thinking about it it was a few years later than 82 I saw it,and definitely wouldn't of seen it at the time of first broadcast I'd of been in bed I was pretty teen
If I'm not mistaken, there was even a tennis one with Fred Perry v Buster Mottram!
Sounds like Roger Scott voicing the Ford ad, and his Capital Radio colleague John Sachs for Kit-e-kat.
Those bstds at freemantle block classics like never the twain so you have to pay £49 for the box set
Loved ITV's music for Mexico 86. A lot better than the awful cacophony the BBC put together.
Don't think anyone liked the BBC World Cup song effort that year 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
@@evonne_ Both good but I preferred BBC's.
Whereas this music in the BBC's long trailer for its coverage of the tournament was rather softer on the ear (though I've no idea what it was):

The BBC theme, 'Aztec Lightning', was a different, updated version of the music for its coverage of the 1968 Mexico City Olympics - as can be heard in this brief montage of excerpts from BBC Olympics' intros from 1964 (Tokyo), 1968, and finally 1972 (Munich).
