Radio humberside

Anyone know where to find the Humberside commentary on Wilkos goal at Everton. I was at the game so never heard it. My dad told me the commentator, I think it was Dave Gibbins, went absolutely mental. Would love to be able to hear it.

I asked about this to RH but was told the recording wasn't found when looked for did remind them that commentary  was also used the next night on look north using pictures from Grimsby Telegraph I never heard anymore

I seem to remember  the commenter  just shouting it's in over and over again

Quoted from Tommy

Literally just gave me goosebumps listening to that. Brilliant.

Same.   Love the way he says, 'and you daren't leave it....'   sets it up perfectly for what happens next.  Could spend all day alternating between Burnsy commentary and Alistair Mann ITV commentary on this  ; -)

Quoted from Brazilnut

While in and out the car today someone text in and said it was great to hear burnsy commentary on the jevons goal which was played as part of 50yr celebration for RH

Did anyone hear it or got a link ?

I heard it (on the Andy Comfort afternoon show)

I actually sent in a tweet that he read out on the show saying it still sent shivers down my spine listening to it

I never went to the game but remember the commentary that night sending me crazy and even after all those years back, it still has an impact even now, in the same way Nathan Arnold's goal did

So it was your tweet that I heard read out that started this thread ..........thank you

Didn't hear it, but I think he was a Town supporter when we were in 2nd tier, then switched allegiance when the Mudrats left us behind.

Get your finger out Boris, we're losing fans here.

Remember watching it in a hotel in Tenerife. One of the best weeks of my life tbh iirc England had drawn with Greece on the Saturday before (beckham last minute free kick) to allow us to qualify at ‘ze Germans’ expense

Ze Germans qualified for the 2002 World Cup Final despite us beating them 5:1. They went on to the final and lost to our nemesis, Brazil.

Germany were in the “easy” half of the draw in 2002.

To guarantee teams knew whether their knock-out games would all be in Japan or all in South Korea the draw was different.

One half of the draw was group A, C, F & H which were potentially nations like France, Brazil, England, Argentina & Japan. The other half of the draw was group B, D, E & G which was potentially nations like Spain (before they were good), South Korea, Portugal, Germany & Italy.

France, Argentina & Portugal imploded in the group stage and Italy were robbed by some interesting refereeing decisions by South Korea in the R2 who then saw off Spain in the QF.

I was of the opinion at the time (and still believe) that the real Final was England v Brazil in the QF. Whoever won that match would go on and win the World Cup. And they did. Sadly it was Brazil and not England.

Fair play to Germany. They got the the Final. But they had the easiest route imaginable to the Final and didn’t face another top nation until the Final itself.

The Beckham free kick v Greece got Ingerland top spot and meant Germany had to go through a playoff.
