Gerald Sinstadt RIP

[eyalluvitt]

For some weird reason my old grandad called him Colonel Chinstrap.

Gerald’s local adult cinema manager called him something similar

Keith Macklin was another one. North East, was he? And Archie MacPherson for the Scottish games, though he was mainly on the BBC.

Yes I remember Keith vaguely on Yorkshire TV and I think he was perhaps even better known for his involvement in Rugby but he would have commentated for sure on Carlisle Home Games when he was with Border TV which we only got odd snippets of here in Oz.

I've never seen any footage of the Regis goal in the 2-2 draw. Can you describe it? Regis was a great centre forward, reminiscent of Shearer in his 20/25 yard shooting. Just like Ian Wright he came from non league - what amazing stories they are and talk about value for money!!

City tried the same route with Paul Sugrue...........

I remember him picking the ball up in his own half, head down and on full power down the middle of the pitch, City defenders bouncing off him, he was a big unit, powerful and incredible pace, just outside the box he let rip with a shot in to the top corner, unstoppable.

One of the few times I witnessed when every fan in the stadium rose to their feet and applauded, stunning goal from a stunning player.

Ugh. Mention of Sugrue makes me feel ill. Big Mal knew how to pick 'em....

I need a drink.

Nice tribute on ITV just now. Included the "Denis has done it" commentary :)
