Ok PREnders, I need some help. I'm hoping someone here knows what was the title of the theme music to the old ABC footy show "The Winners". Here is a YouTube reminder to help jog the memory:

Memories.

Don't know the song.
Is it actually a song from somewhere else or did the ABC pen it for this show?

IF EFC get away with their drug taken they should change their theme song to "The Great Escape"

That's just a part of the puzzle! I don't know.

Initially thought it was one of the songs or spin off from the movie the great escape. more the final scene. Just look for a link, see lower

here is a link to what I thought it was. From about the 1.30 minute mark roughly.

It has that marching feel and that's the first song that came to my mind also but it's a slightly different melody.

Maybe the ABC just used that for inspiration.Still remember GR's interview on that show when I was a kid.

This is it Smasha!..not quite the same as the great escape--very similar. Shazam could not identify it!

Awesome song.
Thanks Gordie.
Anyone remember the B side to the club songs?
That was a ripper also.
