Sir Geoff Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 BBC started even earlier in the morning than that. They always seemed to have a better line up of entertainment too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 You may need to explain to the youngsters; "1.00 Australian Pools Service". That 1972 Cup Final was the 100th and if the FA could have chosen two teams for this showcase event, they would not have chosen Leeds and Arsenal as that would be a dull specatcle. ..

Leeds were a massive team then though and Arsenal are often seen as the 'establishment' club. I'm sure the FA would have been pretty pleased with that as a final.

TedsHeadIs Red Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 David Coleman was the BBC commentator I think. When a goal was scored he would often just say the scorers surname and the score. As in this final…”Clarke, one nil” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Found the whole build up to this quite strange. Little around Man City or the game itself. Everything about ETH. It appears he is gone regardless of the result today. The whole thing is going to turn quite sour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
