This is Brilliant.When The BBC and ITN Showed the Finish of The Day on the Evening’s News.HRL.

dont recall the james flood saga

just watched again, super memories, venture to cognav v earthstopper, ardross winning geoffrey freer

julian wilson was as good if better commentator than what we have now it seems

for aberdonia

no problem..haha, horses like Venture to Cognac bring back great memories to me.
i do think that because we couldnt see every race back then, that horses and jockeys just seemed more mystical.

a bit like european football in the early 80s , when you saw all the sexy european teams and players on Sportsnight via highlights...


sportsnight had a brilliant theme tune

Dickie Davies a legend.

Spent many a Saturday afternoon sat beside the coal fire by the side of my grandad's chair watching sport, Ken walton's wrestling, "have a good week until next week." The football results for his Pools coupon and then hiding behind his armchair when the Daleks or the Icemen turned up on Dr Who unable to take my eyes off the screen but frozen with fear

This one is for all our scottish viewers..haha..Arthur Montford was a legend...
