Thats the name of the game 
*humms the theme tune*
In the distance you can hear
the sound of the cheer
and the laugh and the roar of the crowd
You can feel the expectation,
and the wild jubilation
and the shouting the winners names aloud
'Cos it's the greatest game in town,
and it's the craziest fun around.
It's a Knockout! -- that's the name,
It's a Knockout! -- that's the game,
It's a Knockout! -- that's the name of the game!

The multimedia links are broken but there's some interesting stuff there including this:
More than 100 episodes of the show were hosted by Billy J. Smith and Fiona MacDonald. Their assistants included the dog Combat and Ellen and Shandell. The big question is.... where are they now? Does anybody out there know????? IAK had several celebrity referees, including Ricky May (RIP), Jon English, Lisa Curry, Edith Bliss, Grant Kenny, Melinda Rutter, Tiffany Lamb, Warren Blondell, Vince Sorrenti, Tracy Wickham, Jason Donovan, Mark "wandering hands" Warren, Daryl Cotton, Kerrie-Anne Kennerly, Kerrie Friend, Wayne Pierce, Jackie Love, Cameron Daddo etc... The show was filmed at Dural, near Castle Hill in New South Wales (Englefield Soccer Stadium, New Line Rd). We believe that IAK ended when its land was bought for use for soccer training.
