Gerald Sinstadt RIP

[bigstanhibbert]

A voice from my youth when football was limited on TV. RIP Gerald

 

[Revolver]

As others have said brings back TV memories of 1970s Maine Road which on screen always looked to me to be a dark place (literally as in poor lighting).
RIP

‘Denis has done it’.

Pointless having the quote without the clip.
(Always a good excuse to show it!)



RIP Gerald.

From an era when the match was presented by a commentator and not an opinionator.

Denis has done it
Oh! What a goal!
Acres of space

RIP Gerald

Decent commentator, like Hugh John's (did the Midlands games I remember?) and Peter Jones and Bryon (?)Butler on Radio 2, commentaries that basically described the games without all the other shit.
Talking of TV gantry positions, seem to remember the one at Maine Road was perched beneath the (old )Main Stand roof with just a ladder to climb up. Any commentators with a fear of heights would have loved that!!

He was 91!

And ? My Mum is 95 and apart from arthritis is in great condition for her age.

‘Denis has done it’.

And some of us were there to witness it. ;)

 

[bluealf]

He must have been so sad to see the state his profession has descended into in this modern era.

A true commentator.

He was 91!

And yet some people were shocked the queen was admitted to hospital at 95 or what ever her age is
