Wasn't it 1 - 1 though? Or to be even more pednatic 6 - 5?

[Michael Morris]

It was a latest score (in the old joke)

East Fife 5, Forfar so far 4

I remember my Grandstand annual from about 1979 having an interview with him in which he talked about him possibly reading out this scoreline.

[Llanedeyrnblue]

Nothing to do with Morcombe

Sorry but the original doyen was Leonard Martin, reading the results on BBC Saturday afternoon from the 50’s.

Yes, it wouldn't have been read out as East Fife 4 Forfar 5, so I'm not sure why the BBC have gone with the story.

Was he the one who started reading the scores using a tone of voice where you could tell if it was home win, away win or draw ?

Yeah but it was fun trying to guess what the actual number of goals was.
Even today whenever anyone mentions that from the radio I think of home made rice pudding.
