Footie Trivia Question of the Week
I came across a list of great footie commentary moments the other day, so I thought I'd quiz you on a few. Here we go: "Name the commentator who said these words and the occasion described.
(Hint: they are arranged chronologically.)"
1) "Call me mad! Call me crazy!"
2) "They think it's all over...it is now!"
3) "Keegan's second ... and Newcastle were undressed! They were absolutely stripped naked."
4) "Interesting. Very interesting! Look at his face! Just look at his face!"
5) 'Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana! Maggie Thatcher - can you hear me, Maggie Thatcher! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!'
6) "It's up for grabs now…!"
7) "The future is bright…the future is orange!"
8) "It's getting better and better!"
9) "Mission Impossible Accomplished!! Its wonderful, its magical, its 3-3 in the European Cup"
10) "Like Betamax...they do not make them like him anymore!"
Good luck, chaps!

Very interesting. I don't know about the commentators!
2) Kenneth Wolstenholme 1966 World Cup Final
3) David Coleman or Brian Moore 1974 FA Cup Final
5) some Norwegian bloke after beating England in '81?
6) Brian Moore... Liverpool/Arsenal championship decider in '89
8) John Motson Germany 1 ENGLAND 5
9) Clive Tyldesley Champions League Final Milan/Liverpool '05
I hope I am sort of right
Well in, Davey!
You're spot on with Kenneth Wolstenholme and '66 for #2, of course.
It is indeed David Coleman commenting on the Liverpool drubbing of Newcastle in the 74 Cup final for #3.
That Norwegian bloke is Bjorge Lillelien commenting brilliantly on Norwegian telly after the home side beat England 2-1 in a WC 82 qualifier in September 81.
Of course it's the late great Brian Moore commenting on the last gasp Thomas strike at Anfield in 89 for #6.
And Motty in Munich for England's fantastic win in September 2001.
And Clyde Tyldsley commenting after Liverpool's equalizer that led to their penalty win in the 2005 CL final.
How about the others, you lot? Any guesses on #1, 4, 7 and 10?
Answers, please. I suspect that 4 is Alan Greene and that 10 might be Bazza Davies. 1 is Max Bretos answering his fanmail with an ellipsis
