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.
And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot. No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all. All that was really there was still more misery

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
<*(((><
Sometimes the world is just too cruel to have funny things at the bottom of your post !!!
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 ; -)
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

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
In a neat little town they all call Grimsby Apprentice to a tradeI was bound And many's an hour's sweet happiness Have I spent in this neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Never Betrayed by the black and white band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black and white band.

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.
Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

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.
