Thank you for all the good memories. True legend

Amazing voice, will always be the voice I hear.

 

RIP

Another part of my childhood gone. Listened to a programme about him when he retired, which was interesting. His nickname was Jags. RIP

Legend of the broadcasting world and RIP 'n stuff but the BBC are asking for your James Alexander Gordon memories!

 

Like... "remember that time he read out the scores".

Forfar 4 East Fife 5 is probably the one that'll top that particular listeners request.

 

Was tantalising trying to figure out by the tone of his voice what the score of the away team was going to be.

Yep. But that's about it, isn't it?

Am glad I'm not the only one that used to do this...

 

(oh, and I thought it was Forfar 5, East Fife 4, which is a better tongue twister)

Would be odd if it did seeing as it has never happened.

2 Ronnies sketch, wasn't it?

[Swan Red]

I always thought it worked better as Forfar 5 East Fife 4

[aka Dus]

Sad one, didn't get much of a retirement.

Wasn't it a late result, hence "Forfar 5 East Fife 4 so far"?

[Swan Red]

I don't recall the actual sketch. Think the two Ronnie's were generally brilliant though

[RP]

There was a genuine East Fife 4 Forfar 3 result a few years ago.

 

 

I don't really recall the sketch either - maybe the sketch never happened either

Ah- was Eric Morecambe with the Forfar 5, East Fife 4.... and there was once a Forfar 4, East Fife 5
