he was very good. all my childhood memories dying

Indeed. Never forget the tash. RIP.

Dunno if he was available everywhere in the old itv network but he was a mainstay in the midlands.

he was mainly north west early 70s

wasnt hugh johns doing the midlands then

sad news, remember him well , good commentator rip

I stand corrected elis. It was Hugh Johns (with the big coat) in the midlands. Must  have been world of sport cutting to him.

Excellent commentator for so many years.  R.I.P. Gerald.

pretty sure he called the 1971 manchester derby a fantastic 3 3 draw a game which saw the debut of sir matts last signing sammy mcllroy,one of his lines he used often what a goal,sad news

its the one ive put up above jimnast

He also did .....Liverpool 7 Spurs 0

Still not been many better team goals than Terry Max for the seventh.

great stuff six

on sundays when i was a kid we always used to visit my gran in norris green liverpool. my dads family were liverpool fans and my mums family were evertonians.

we all sat down to watch sunday football on itv and gerald was invarably commentating on a NWest big game. We all enjoyed listening to his impatial and informative commentary as well as his distinctive voice.

it brings back memories of real football and days when football was about local commumties and football for what it was ,, fantastic entertainment and something that got into you phsyci and your emotions.

A great commentator and a sad loss. glad he lived to a grand age and thanks for the memories u gave us all.

Sadly all of both sides of that generation have now passe away but it wsa good while it lasted and at the time!!!

nice post, the Dragon

thanks elis

should have added that it was always good when liverpool beat Everton

Good stuff dragon

It’s very sad news. Great commentator. RIP Mr Sinstadt.

Good morning elisjohn

Re 1846 post I have been able to work out how to get those links when one of the kids come around I will get them to get it.

One of my favourite commentators back in the day.

Sad news.
