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!

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."

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