I seem to remember Mouldy Old Dough in the 70's and slightly more recently Yellow. Of course, my memory may be playing tricks on me!

I would have thought before G J we would have ran out to Send in the clowns.

Rockford Files would be a snappy tune.

This is from Bartondowns in the TFF's history section:

"From the Herald Express's report of Tony Boyce's funeral in January 2008:

Mr Boyce was responsible for introducing Torquay United’s popular theme tune ‘A Banda’.

Tired of the military music played before matches at Plainmoor, he found the Herb Alpert record during a holiday in Spain in the mid-1960s and introduced it to the stadium play list.

It remained the team’s pre-match ‘run-out’ music until the beginning of the current season."

Bought both those singles - 6 shillings and 8d
from Paish at Castle Circus.

A Banda certainly evokes memories of some great Plainmoor games! Got to admit to still liking it.

What about a Muse record? A local group from Teignmouth,international superstars,many great hits.Sounds like a match made in heaven for the Gulls!
