WHO WAS HE?
I wish they'd show other seasons other than 1978/79 and 1982/83.
ITV haven't changed down the years. All about the so called 'big' clubs.
The mullet headed Elton Welsby was Sunderland obsessed in his presentation, despite the fact the Brighton game was a promotion decider for them & Sunderland were relying on Crystal Palace messing up. Brighton had made The First Division for the first time in their history, but this barely got a mention, even in the match commentary.
Bizarre how times have changed - Wrexham back then were a Division Two (Championship) team back then.
Seen the game many times over, but will still watch it over & over again. There's even a brief two second glimpse of a much younger me!
They do tend to repeat themselves month after month , not sure why .
