favourite David Francey stories.

When a co-commentator pointed out the name of a foreign player that was virtually unpronounceable, he remarked: "Don't worry, he won't be getting much of the ball tonight."

There was a great story about him commentating on a Scotland game in Romania in the 1970s when he turned, off microphone, to summariser Ian Archer and asked 'Who's that Romanian number 4?' Archer replied 'F*cked if I know!'

Francey then told the listeners 'And Romania clear through Fuctifino...' Apocryphal no doubt but believable!
