Thanks

Speaking of old TV matches, sad to see Gerald/Sinstadt has died, though he was in his 90s. I thought he was the best of all the ITV commentators, he voiced our very first appearance on ITV when he was still working for Anglia (Colchester away in 1968/69) but we only appeared once on Granada whilst he was there from 1969 (replacing Barry Davies) to 1981 (giving way to Martin Tyler), so Blackpool away in 1973/74 is the one surviving example of Sinstadt describing a Notts goal......

Amazing when you watch that Notts goal just how slow the pace of the game was. Not a single player pressed in possession, but it’s remarkable how much time Don Masson had on the ball.

This is my favourite Sinstadt commentary - the Liverpool v St Etienne classic in 1977. Love that French kit, too:

One thing I didn’t know about GS is that he lost both his parents to a Luftwaffe bombing raid during the war.
