I was bent double over one of the barriers, half ecstatic, half worrying the previous night's dodgy curry (very much a thing back then ) would explode out of me arse!

…any, any, any O’Brien…..

Like a Lion - O’Brien!

Who were the commentators? I reckon deffo Roger Thames, and I think I vaguely recall then Boro manager Lennie Lawrence doing the Tyne Tees stuff at that time, but memory could be playing tricks

Aye, think it was both. And Lawrence was the one who said 'I fancy O'Brien over the wall'.

He also said 'I fancy that lad up there to shit his pants' but he got that wrong-hah!
