It must be time for another funky post on QX's 1980 library/production thread!

Daniel Janin was a French vibraphonist, composer, arranger, and conductor. He worked with the "Melodie en Soul-Sol" label in the 70's and composed some really funky pieces such as Hep Taxi. I don't think the label was used for any sports themes, but it could have been!

Spoiler for Daniel Janin:

This is an album "Vade Retro" he released with JC Pierric in 1974. Not quite sure if it is lounge-jazz or jazz funk, but it is surprisingly groovy in places. No. 1 ‘Black Night’, and no. 3 ‘Saramina‘ are apparently library funk.
