I'm trying to think of pieces of music which have a connection with a specific team or at least a sport. The one that comes to mind first is You'll never walk alone and the Liverpool Football Club.
Can anyone think of any others, anywhere in the world.

Eye of the Tiger for the Wests Tigers in the NRL. Remember the days when each team had a club song? No more it seems, well they aren't as popular anyway.
And it probably means zilch to anyone outside of NRL but "SImply the Best" and "What's my Scene" .

That what you mean?

What was that music, from "the Planets" .. Jupiter? for Rugby Union.

"Cup of Life" by Ricky Martin (World Cup Football)

"Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys (surfing)

"Up there Cazaly" by Greg Champion (AFL)

...that's all I can think of at the moment.

The Saints (Go Marching In), for a lot of teams with 'Saint' in their name, including St Kilda, my AFL team.

How about 'Sweet Georgia Brown' for the Harlem Globetrotters, or 'Rocky' for boxing?

The Welsh song "Sospan Fach" is especially associated with the Llanelli rugby club.
