remember when Blair took his post on MOTD as a pundit and did particularly well?! it must be added!
The whole history section has been copied from a BBC article, and has been moved here Match of the Day/History. ed g2s • talk 05:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm trying to compile a list of all of the MotD Goals Of The Season (possibly with a view to creating an article, if I can find enough information on each); can anyone help out? I've identified 94-95 ( Matt Le Tissier v Blackburn), 96-97 ( Trevor Sinclair's bicycle kick against Barnsley), 98-99 (that Ryan Giggs goal), 99-00 ( Paulo Di Canio's scissor kick against Wimbledon), 01-02 ( Dennis Bergkamp turning Newcastle inside out) and 04-05 ( Wayne Rooney's thundering volley against Middlesbrough).

I was surprised to see that the music was specially composed for Match of the Day (and, having checked, all sources seem to agree on this). I had always thought the music was an adaptation of Robin Hall and Jimmie McGregor's song "Football Crazy". Am I alone in seeing the similarity between these tunes?

Does anybody have a full list of the backing music used in the shows when introducing the highlights from each match? The few that I know are:

The lengthy show history section was deleted, according to the description because of "copyvio". I wrote/re-wrote much of this section not long before it was deleted and I can assure you there was no violation of copyright, I referred to a book about the show, which I will add as a reference in the near future, nothing was 'copied' directly however. Please can this claim be clarified/backed up with evidence, as there is no reason for a useful part of the article to stay deleted. Jimbow25 19:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
I have been working on a orginial history for a couple of weeks now as you know, I hope to bring it right up to date over the next few days/weeks.
As a child in the 70s, I have hazy memories of Scottish fixtures being shown on rare occasions when I was allowed to stay up to watch. Am I wrong? And before you ask, I lived in London. Dweller 11:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
This article is very poorly written, for several reasons:
A rewrite is definitely needed. Would anyone else agree? Qwghlm 16:01, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Would it be worth noting in the trivia section that Gary Lineker's last words on MOTD before Premiership highlights passed over to ITV was "see you after the break" I always remember that, for some reason. HornetMike 18:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
The game when Jimmy Hill ran the line happended when he was at ITV and the Big Match. Not Match of the Day. This should be deleted. Hill didnt join the BBC until the season after
Would it be a good idea to add some information about the boycott of MotD by various managers due to arguments with the BBC etc. I think that it's Ferguson, Allardyce and Redknapp who don't give interviews. Nev 16:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Just some basic cleanup and improvement things needed here which would improve the article incredibly:

I have the sense that it's a recap of recent football, but I'm not sure of the details, and this article doesn't help. A sentence in the lede to flesh out "highlights and analysis" would get useful, and a Format section may be warranted. See Match of the Day 2#Format. Some questions that a reader might want to know: does it cover only that day's games, or are Friday/mid-week fixtures included? Is it Premier League (or historically, top-flight-English) only, or does it include Champions League, EFL, Scotland, etc.? Does it run during international competitions? The name sounds like it's about a single game (as in "soup of the day"), and it sounds like that's how it started; does it still feature one or a few games in greater detail than the others, or is it a general broad sweep? I and other ignorant readers would be interested to know these things :) SSSheridan ( talk) 09:55, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
The original theme tune, entitled "Drum Majorette", was written by Major Oleen Wrigley, the band leader of the Jade Petherick under the pen-name 'Arnold Stock'.
Much as I detest football, is this vandalism ? Two unlikely names with no links, both unsourced, with the alleged source (10:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/match_of_the_day/3135723.stm) only mentioning Major Arnold Stock.
Oleen is a girl's name, where was she a major ? in the Salvation Army ? What is 'the' Jade Petherick ( note the article ): A band ? A steamship ? A tin-mine ?
All somewhat odd...

Was it called Match of the Day or Premier League Highlights? I have heard the phrase "Match of the Day" was not in yesterdays opening title sequence.( Fran Bosh ( talk) 17:02, 12 March 2023 (UTC))
