Radio memories

[Vic]

I recorded a BBC programme "More than a Game" off the radio in 1968, a documentary about United v City at the Swamp in the Championship season. Didn't get it all, as I had to turn over the 3 inch tape halfway through. The North West sound archive copied it but that archive has been dispersed and it may now be at Central Ref.

But try this, from a marvellous BBC World Service collection of 8/9 minute recollections of historic events. Micah on the last day of the 2012 season. Perhaps more than video, because on radio "the scenery is better", this is goosebumps stuff:

When they’d go to City and the first thing Brian Clarke would usually say is ‘it’s in the back of that City net’.

Brain Clarke was my neighbour in Droylsden, he drove a mini with full Piccadilly 261 livery all over it.

It's a goal!

Oh no!

Beat me to it.

The pregnant pause after the jingle, knowing the "oh no" was bound to be City.

Did he do the paperwork for a surgeon?
