BBC Superstars was an all-around sports competition that pitted elite athletes from different sports against one another in a series of athletic events resembling a decathlon. The format was originally developed in the USA before the BBC made it own version filmed at the National Sports Centre, Crystal Palace in August 1973 for later broadcast on New Year's Eve of the same year. The inurgral competition was captured by former 400 metre hurdles Olympic champion David Hemery. It was presented by David Vine with commentary by Ron Pickering. The show proved so popular that versions ran through and Europe and American until 1985.

This team version of the Superstars format was broadcast sporadically over a eight year period starting in 1978. Initially it was just two rival football teams but later evolved into two lots of individuals from rival sports (e.g. Rugby vs. Water Sports) going at it through the various all-round sporting tasks. In 1979 two teams of nine footballers and athletes went head to head in Eastley near Southampton for the Ferguson Trophy at the Bracnall Sprorts Centre, Berkshire.

The events teams participate in were Swimming Relay, Cycling, canoeing, pisl shooting, table tennis (doubles), basketball, obsticle course, relay race and tug of war
