Okay Friday morning, I'll get this started. 1971ish Friday night basketball games at my junior high, the school team were the ironmen, so this was played as those pasty skinny white guys bounded out on court. Oh what jolly memories.
When you reach the place beyond thoughts, the only thing you'll find is love and the only purpose of life becomes to ease the suffering of others.

I've got a whole playlist on Spotify I fondly call my "Sporting Nerd" playlist - music heard from all sporting venues I've been to over the years, or takes me back to certain places, stuff from Olympic Games...there's all sorts. I like to play it on my way to games or when I'm off to a running race, helps get me the feels.
I'll go left field for now and go with this and explain why...
January 2011, freezing cold Saturday. Burnley v QPR. I've driven up from Northamptonshire as I still lived at home on my own, got there early, parked up in that cricket ground behind the goal, went in pretty much when the gates opened.
Stood in that away end behind the goal, no fkr there at that point, freezing cold, raining, this comes on over the tannoy. Couldn't get any further from California that day than cold, rainy Burnley on a January Saturday.
Whenever I hear it now it takes me back to Turf Moor in my little brain.

I always associate this with the 1986 Commonwealth Games. The BBC used it as their theme tune. Strong memories of being on holiday in Donegal and it raining the whole time.

They used to use that as background music for the rundown on Final Score at the end of Grandstand. I associate with "a late goal by Gary Bannister/John Byrne gave QPR the points..."

"a diseased bunch of mofos if there ever was one, their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons."

A flop when originally released, a wonderful piece of Thom Bell soul. Sky Sports picked it up years later as a part of their footy coverage and it then became a hit.
