2 nil up at one point. Listened to it in a double Geography class. Being a long haired rocker I was able to hide the earphone wire. To be honest I don't think the teacher gave a flying fck as long as we weren't making any noise.Iirc we were the first English side to get a point away v Milan. I think we led until quite late on.
Could have sworn it was late on !Tommy Booth scored in the first half mate.
I thought the big news was we were the 1st English side to almost win away at Milan. Still remember ,I think , 10pm national news sports headline 'And Manchester city nearly became the 1st English side to win at Milan"Iirc we were the first English side to get a point away v Milan. I think we led until quite late on.
My memory playing tricks again; Kidd scored the 1st and PP the 2nd..
I was that pissed it could have gone to extra timeCould have sworn it was late on !
Armfield was a top man. An excellent player who might well have captained England in 1966 but for injury. As a manager took Leeds to the Euro Cup Final and was cheated out of it by a ref subsequently shown to be corrupt.Jimmy Armfield was incredibly brilliant as a commentator. As you say no agenda or bias. The best I've ever listened to ever .
Was often at Maine rd during the 70s when I had radio 2 2md half commentary / score flashes on a little transistor radio.....those were the days.
Fav memory, just sticks out, was fa cup 5th round day 1981 ...a late score flash..from Peterborough...my heart skipped a beat..cos it was late...into the 80th 0dd min iirc...
." And Tommy Booth has stuck Manchester City in front here "
..I was so happy, biggest smile ever on my face ,I just knew that would be enough and wed made it through a tricky fixture into the quarter finals ......
And so much more down to earth than the now disgraced Stuart Hall who often reported on City at Maine rd ,with his often dramatic style which sounded eccentric ,but he later admitted he " made most of it up" .... a startling admission which showed deceit to go with the sleazy sexual predator he turned out to be ,doing prison in later years for more BBC related offences...Armfield was a top man. An excellent player who might well have captained England in 1966 but for injury. As a manager took Leeds to the Euro Cup Final and was cheated out of it by a ref subsequently shown to be corrupt.
Finally as a commentator first class as you say.
