The series initially had a simple opening sequence showing a rotating rudimentary CGI-image of a football pitch revolving several times, before a still of the two presenters popped up at the end; the theme tune was initially identical to that used for the "On the Ball" segment of '"World of Sport". In later years, the introduction to the show began with St John and Greaves as cigarette cards from their playing days on the opening credits, and the theme tune was changed to a piece named "Aztec Gold", composed by Silsoe, which, at the time, was being used as the theme tune for ITV's "The Big Match", after being the theme tune for the station's coverage of the 1986 World Cup.
