Typically, the programme would begin with Welsby giving the latest scores, and in later years some goal action, followed by match reports from ITV commentators at the games, as well as from reporters working for various independent local radio stations around Britain, such as Tom Ross from BRMB or Richard Park from Radio Clyde.
ITV lost the rights to top-flight football when the Premier League was formed in 1992, and therefore the decision was made to end the programme at the conclusion of the 1991/92 season.
However, much of the country did not have a Goals Extra programme, so ITV chose to incorporate a football round-up into the teatime news bulletin from ITN, which would normally be broadcast at or close to 17:00.
This would include a full classified check, initially with Bob Colston continuing in his role, but later Miller, Bobin or whoever was presenting the bulletin would read it.
The Goal Rush was axed mid-season in 2003, and around this time ITN stopped providing a full classified check on the teatime news, though brief clips and major stories from the day's football remained.
