Should show that to any young 'uns, to see what grounds were like back then!

I seem to remember sometimes there were cars parked round the edge of the pitch at Stamford Bridge, or am I making that up?

Yes..I remember the light blue bubble cars around the pitch

IIRC the regional commentators were.

Tyne-Tees - Kenneth Wolstenholm,, then Roger Tames
Yorkshire - Keith Macklin, then John Helm
Granada - Gerald Sinstadt
ATV - Hugh John's
London Weekend - Brian Moore
Scotland - Arthur Montford, Archie MacPherson
Googling Martin Tyler reveals he had stints at Southern, Anglia, Yorkshire and Granada.

RIP - Gerald Sinstadt had an amazing voice for football didn't he. Very much the soundtrack of an era of football before the £millionaires etc.

Didn't Barry Davies moonlight as a figure skating commentator when Torvill and Dean were big?

Davies was commentating on the Summer and Winter Olympics since the late 60's.

Another one from my childhood gone. Great commentator. Everyone thinks things were better in the past but football commentators were. Ron Jones on the radio was magic.

RIP Gerald

Nope

A lot of footage from the early 70's shows loads of those little blue invalid cars behind the goals, all driven by people with haircuts like Joey Deacon had!

Ron Jones on the radio was magic.

My favourite commentator.

I don't think any football voice beats James Alexander Gordon though.
