Robbie scores for Match Of The Day-26/03/01
Robbie Williams and U2 have been short listed to write a new theme song for British ITV channel’s Saturday night soccer highlights. The tune will replace the BBC’s 37-year-old Match Of The Day song written by Barry Stoller for the launch of the hit TV sports show in 1964. Robbie and U2 are among five artists - which also includes Badly Drawn Boy and Michael Nyman, who composed the score to movie hit The Piano- asked to submit possible opening music for the show next season. Executives at the channel want a contemporary sound to replace the traditional theme. Robbie, a well known football fan, seems particularly keen to nab the job - he approached ITV last month after hearing the company was searching for a new tune.
