It's a kind of magic. they were right too, it was a kind of magic. Tommy coopers kind, usually. A joke there exclusively aimed at the over 35s

Some of us can remember the original and far superior version of Rinky Dink by Dave 'Baby' Cortez. It was used as the theme tune for Kent Walton's Saturday afternoon wrestling programme on ITV. We used to endure that programme as the footie results would follow it and in those days that was the only way you could find out how your team got on, short of going to the game of course.

How times have changed.

And the Vidi printer popping up and down at the bottom of the screen revealing the scores in print. I am snobbishly proud I am of an age that experienced football back then and everything that went with it.

Grumpy Old Man, did the Cobblers used to walk out to Rinky Dink by Dave 'Baby' Cortez at the County Ground. If so that will explain my fondness for the tune when they play a version of it at the end of each game at Sixfields. If so my hat is off to the DJ blokes or whoever had the idea.

Kids these days, if only they knew you had to wait until 7 at night to get the pink un before you could form an opinion on a players performance without having gone to the game rather than just go by what somebody else has said on the internets. Still, we've gone backwards from a same day match report in the paper

Remember how it used to stop and start and type at various speeds so you'd often be left wondering what the full result would be?
Who was also with their parents the day vidi printer was sabotaged and the Sc***horpe result displayed without the capital 'S'! I can still picture the embarassing silence in our house now!

I used to love the idea that somebody, somewhere, sometime thought "f*** me, Cardiff have score 6 goals. They'll never believe that, they'll think it was a typo (whatever one of those is). I know, we shall spell it out for them" and so it became "Cardiff 6 (six) -  Port Vale 2"

Ralap, no the Cobblers didn't walk out to Rinky Dink during the Sixties, I am sure most people remember it from the Kent Walton shows.  It was one of many great sixties instrumentals from that era and is freely available on various 60's cd's. It never made the charts in the UK but as far as I am aware it did quite well in the USA. He is also credited with a record called 'The Happy Organ' and I shall make no comment on that.

I knew the version played at the Cobblers was not the original but had no idea who it was by until today and I can't say I have ever heard of the Johnny Howard band. Maybe the D.J's can dig out the original some time.

I remember hearing the result of one of the Cobblers greatest games and possibly their greatest moment on the radio during Sports Report which I assume was on the Light Programme, which was Bury 1 Northampton 4, Northampton are promoted (to the first division no less), which must have been back in 1965. Sadly it was not to last.

Thank you Grumpy Old Man. Oh well, there is just something about that tune I like then. maybe it's just its plain quirkyness.
