- I always loved the Grandstand opening when growing up. That must have been why I recorded 4 of them!
Sit back and relive a little bit of history. These are openings between 1993 and 1998 but not in succession. - Sport
This reminds me of better times 😢
Saturday afternoons when you were a kid and you knew you didn't have school :)
Still sends a shiver down my spine after 15 years. Brilliance.
I'm watching it in 2022 and it is still sensational.
So many memories especially watching rallycross and the BTCC on a Sunday.
I just love how the timing between the footage of the crashes is in sync with the bass drum/timpani being struck
Better days the 90s...analogue sky, Williams Renault, they were the days.
You all probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

You know, I never, ever watched Grandstand in my life, but I cannot imagine my childhood without this theme music.
When sport was easy to access on TV. It's so fragmented now.
The crowd's cheers in the 90s compared to today 💔
Crowd in 90s: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Crowd now: rah
I miss Grandstand proper Saturday afternoons!!
I wished they never cancelled Grandstand. It was a typical Saturday afternoon programme. I watched sports that I liked
I enjoyed watching Grandstand on a Saturday afternoon
Yeah so did I especiall ywhen the BBC hadthe F1 an dall that. Iused t owatch theend bit fo rth efootball results to see how well Spurs did but yeah good times.
this is one of my favourite songs of all time. when ever it used to come on when i was a kid i'd run into the front room and spin round in circles. thanks for adding this!!
Just a Saturday growing up. Me and my mum and dad would do shopping in morning and come home to this same every week
How can anybody who ever watched this still enjoy BBC sports weekend offering?

Yeah I miss it
BBC allways have the best sports intro's
my god, this brings back memories. I miss watching the Grandstand
The sound of Saturday afternoon on the BBC sadly no longer on our screens
The theme that lured us men to the tv set week after week! Like many things the internet has spoilt all that😞
memories i can remember watching grandstand with my mum and drandad on sunday while eating our sunday dinner i miss my grans roast potatoes lol
Saturday as a child in the 90's
Ah, Saturdays in the 90's as a child. Live and kicking in the morning, grandstand in the afternoon. Then the generation game, Noel edmons house party, gladiators.
This is actually the most exciting music made by man.
Baby, Baby, i just can't forget about you, now that were through
Ah, the British version of ABC's Wide World of Sports, NBC Sportsworld, and CBS Sports Spectacular. Sadly, all but one is no longer around. ;-(
I miss Grandstand, in particular the theme tune. This ages me doesnt it? Im going to be 30 on saturday.
Hope you had a great 30th birthday. :)
I did thanks, stayed at a friends house :-)
@@aerithlivesforever6184 hope you got some ;)
37 now eh? I just turned 39.
I always remember Grandstand being on BBC1 on a Saturday and BBC2 on a Sunday my dad used to always watch the Grand Prix which was on Sunday Grandstand loved the theme tune more than the sport

That second one: GLORIOUS HIGH QUALITY!!!
same here, although I'm in Canada - the BBC always had the greatest music for sports, soul limbo for the cricket, grand prix, ski sunday, pot black and the rest of the snooker coverage, the champions theme for the grand national - and using life of riley for goal of the month and nessun dorma for Italia 90 - nobody did that better than the BBC

Sport seemed more honest and less commercial then - Also Grandstand was iconic - proper sport TV
Honestly, I wasn't the sports loving type back when this was on, but I'd always watch the intro music at least.
Not keen on most sports, but i miss this show. And i miss the BBC Sport globe idents.
Happy days> I more than likely ran the VT from which these were played, that would be VT5a, via Multiplexer 1X, into Studio 5 at Television Centre, back when the BBC had a decent VT area, with the best people in the world. Sadly all gone now.
I really miss Grandstand. I just wished they kept showing it
Cracking stuff... I'd forgotten about syncing up the 'boing' with some kind of crash.
Also, weas the BBC contractually obliged to include Nick Faldo until Tiger Woods came along?
Sorry to reply to your comments 12 years later but I think Woods didn’t start winning majors until 1997 and some of these intros are before then. The real question is why Henman and Rusedski who won no big titles. At least Faldo won six majors!
I can remember Grandstand being on TV over the years, though sadly I didn't take much interest in sport until I hit my teens (2002 onwards) so I didn't get to watch very much of it, I remember being quite sad when it got axed despite this. Though I DID love the opening theme very much! I want to say the earliest one I can remember watching is the 1996/7 ones, if only because I can remember seeing those specific BBC Sport idents. But yes, good times, just a shame I didn't get into sports sooner!
Good old days
I just watched an old 90s Top Gear segment. It had this music. I think I might go on an intro music binge.
old richard keys.
as i grew up, he was always presenting this.
then became match of the day and gary (walkers guy) lineker presented the show.
good times
A sad day when they axed Grandstand. It was apart of my childhood. Saturday afternoons just will never be the same again.
So many amazing memories!
RIP to the fabulous David Coleman
Best theme ever written. I still remember it note for note.
Miss this
Wow, I haven't heard the BBC Sport and Grandstand intro in YEARS!!! Memories
BBC BBC
Classic Saturdays Thanks for posting
Top effort with this! Love it
oh, the nostalgia!
Those was the days
The second one is the best - the clips fit with the music perfectly :D
I miss those days
childhood saturdays ftw. the second one, with Wigan and United, that's the best one :D
Used to love grandstand with des lynam best thing about saturdays
should never have done away with this
I wish it would come back :(
Really like the BBC Sport ident and theme of that era.
Please bring it back
Love the fruit pastelle SPORT at 1:05. Also how BBC haven’t changed their logo since the late 90s. And finally have to say how dapper Steve Rider always looks!
Imagine the line up today. Messi ronaldo nadal federer usian bolt Ronnie and even Taylor. What a pish line up then. Did seem very British at time
BBC Grandstand - funny to see Steve 'ITV' Rder on all when we worked for the BBC.
3:17, I was 17 and sat with the photographers on the pitch about 1 metre from where that try was scored.
The programme was Gazzetta Football Italia on Channel 4. The shout you refer to, although sounding like Goal Lazio, was actually Golaccio which in Italian means Goaltastic or something like that. Hope that answers your question.
Now it's match of the day
Grandstand needs brought back. they show sport on a sat afternoon anyway.
Don't ask me why, but the BBC Sport theme for Grandstand always reminds me of the Rangers 9 in a row era in the 1990s.
It sends shivers up my spine.

I remember the days when clocks were shown before most editions of Grandstand but in around 1995 the regular BBC Television station symbols were shown into Grandstand. In my novels, GDPtv moved away from using the clock into Grandstand in favour of sports themed version of their regular symbol from February 1991 for the right reasons as the use of clocks into sports programming was dying out.
Great times they were the days!!!
My goodness how young does Henman look in the second one!!
Who is the horse (No1) in front at 1.22?
It's the second version which I think is the best but who is scoring the goal past Peter schmeichel is it Spurs vs Man Utd? Also who is the athlete doing the long/high jumps?
This ends and then telly as we know it ends
It would be nice to have Grandstand back but look at what the Beeb did to it during its last few years. Football Focus AND final Score had their own Idents and it was only a matter of time. As for regular wall-to wall sport on saturdays now, seen the schedules lately?!? Some summer Sats, no sport on BBC! Unbelievable! And don't forget the Sunday version!!
Saturdays just aren't the same without it
@january301973 when did they cancel grandstand on a satuday? Must have been rather recent?
yeah the epic BBC Sports ident from 1989-1992 represented BBC at the height of it's extreme power.... bring back the globe its time the BBC brought back that power again
this was when the bbc was the bbc before they started giving all their money to strictly and danny dyer at eastenders. give me bbc sport instead of that drivel anyday
god, i really miss this theme tune every Saturday lunchtime, it just isnt the same without it, but BBC still show sport and have final score, why cant they just bring it back?

aah i remember my dad watching this when i was like...5...i LOVED the music...the one i remember had goldfish in the titles...which one was that??
memories
You don't by any chance have a copy of the ident from 0:59 to 1:07?
what is the name of this theme music?
Which year was each opening broadcast?
Touring Cars!
Damn. Shout out Steve Rider.
2:25 holy shit! I hope that guy was alright
Oh Happy Days, when BBC HAD sport to show!!!
i think the earlier versions were much better edited with the beat of the song matching an even ie the rugby try or the car crash. good to see the time was put in
What was his name aswell the commutator
BBC really need to make a sports channel, sky sports is one of the most popularest addons on SKY so sureley they should make a dedicated sports channel.
Ngl someone flipping this and using it as a sample in a beat would be hard
As much as I would love to see it return and I would, BBC only show a few sports these days so wouldn't be enough coverage for a whole day since they nearly have lost contracts to everything
Theme tune was great in stereo
classic theme!!!
Steve Rider presented both Grandstand and occasionally World of Sport
Before he moved over to the BBC from ITV he stood in for the late Dickie Davies
@@omegaman6494 exactly I remember. Now back at ITV Steve Rider present BTCC
Still better than today’s rubbish
Better than the cheap shite on TV nowadays
Grand stand Every one the song grandstand
Why do people keep saying "Bring back Grandstand?" It's not as if the Beeb no longer has wall-to-wall sport on Saturdays. The only thing that's really gone is the theme tune and the central studio.
Back when BBC had some sports
17 weirdos with thumbs down
This one was good . Never cared too much for the first one . However what about the one before this ? Remeber it being pretty goos but can't remeber for the life of me how it went . Would know it if I heard it though . Changed to this one in the mid 70s . But can't seem to find the one prior to this in You Tube
