You can inflict it on me, I’m ok with it. I love football nostalgia, but I’m not mad at cricket nostaligia.

Or if you’re English, with cricket. The song ‘Soul Limbo’ has been used for many years as the theme tune for the BBC’s cricket coverage, and is absolutely one of the sounds of the English summer.

“Good morning, and welcome to the Oval for the third day of the final test match against Australia, with England on 144 for 3 overnight in reply to Australia’s first innings score of 436…”

I vaguely thought for years it was from the Caribbean, because the West Indies were the great team when I was a kid, so it made sense that they would use a bit of West Indian music for the cricket, and it does have a slightly calypso vibe to it.

Anyway. There’s probably a limit to how much cricket nostalgia I should inflict on you.
