Reading up about 'The Rockford Files' (great show and Im thrilled its out on DVD now) and I came across this little gem
Is it true?
Anyone know the origins?
If true, its a little out of left-field and strange
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rockford_FilesWiki on the Rockford Files said:English soccer team Tranmere Rovers FC have been connected with the show since the early 1980s. To this day, the players still run out before every home game to the sound of the "Rockford" theme on the tannoy. The reason for this has been lost in the mists of time; however, one possible explanation could be that during the 1980s the team played often on Friday nights. This was at the same time as the show was being aired on British TV; thus the theme became a tongue-in-cheek reference to what the alternative could be for the fans instead of watching a struggling fourth division team playing on a cold and wet Friday night.
