    That wasn’t the vidiprinter... that was Final Score when all the results had been transposed onto charts.

    The vidiprinter used to start around 4.40 and Frank Bough was the first presenter of Grandstand that I remember.

    Hilariously (or so it seemed at the time) when someone farted in school it was always ‘Have you Franked?’

    I always thought David Coleman was the first presenter of grandstand.

    Grandstand
    In October 1958, the BBC's Head of Sport Peter Dimmock recruited Coleman to be the presenter of the new Saturday afternoon sports programme Grandstand. He continued as the regular presenter until 1968. He also presented the BBC Sports Personality of the Year from 1961, and Sportsnight from 1968 to 1972 as well as other special sporting events such as the Grand National. He even covered the return of The Beatles from the United States and the 1959 General Election for the BBC from the Press Association headquarters.

    As well as a presenter, Coleman was also a sports commentator. He presented and/or commentated on 11 Olympic Games from Rome 1960 to Sydney 2000, as well as eight Commonwealth Games. He covered a total of seven World Cups, both as a commentator and a presenter.#

    however he did miss the very first one because he was ill.
