Over to Kenneth at Villa Park, where united have lost, "The story of this game is Crerand's long balls kept sticking in the mud....

sat in my kitchen ,listening to the york away match ,i think i was the only city fan not there,

I was in the garage making a base for my youngster's model railway Christmas present. According to legend though, that's what I told the Mrs, as secretly I was at York away along with the other 125,000 Blues. Amazingly I was back in Cumbria by 5pm and changed back into my overalls prior to discreetly walking back into the house.

Bryon Buttler and Peter jones on radio 2 was something to behold no agenda no bias just sheer descriptive pleasure , Jimmy arnfield and Denis Law would do the summerising during the second half full commentary.
Sky and talksport and 5 live are not fit to carry the bags of equipment.

Not wanting to derail the thread into non-City memories but the Peter Jones summation of the afternoon at Hillsborough is a couple of minutes of emotional eloquence that still brings goosebumps.

Honesty is so overlooked in today's society

I was at York wishing I was in my kitchen.

You must have read my mind as I was going to post the same about Butler & Jones. Brilliant commentary and they could make the dullest game sound exciting.

Then we got Alan fucking Green.

God yes, he was awful. Always wanted to make the commentary about himself when no one gave a shiny shite about him.

As others have said the “oh no” or “it’s a goal jingle” were brilliant on a Saturday afternoon. Nothing better than listening to an 80s classic waiting for those jingles to interrupt the tunes.

Was going to post similar mate. One piece of radio commentary you’ll never forget.

So true. They were the masters of commentary. So professional yet they made it so exciting. The tension and tone of their voices.
