Music played during BBC Sports Personality of the year?

[leyzwj]

Does any one know what the song was that the orchestra played when Alan Shearer came up with Owen Hargreaves to present the "Unsung Hero Award". I know that the bbc also play it as the theme tune for the great north run, so I don't know if it has any Newcastle connection???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
