Full BBC Scotland 'Sportsreel' programme. Introduced by Archie Henry. Rangers v Celtic - Commentary by George Davidson Hearts v Hibernian - Commentary by George Davidson
The first presenter is Archie Henry. He died 75 days after this was broadcast and died the day before JFK was assassinated. He looks in the prime of life here - 50 yrs old. How short and uncertain life is.
Absolute dynamite. What a post! I would only be 4 or 5 at the time of this broadcast, so although I can't possibly remember it, a very youthful Archie McPherson is very much in my footballing sphere, along with the commentary of George Davidson. Quite wonderful...
Excellent - thanks very much for this - shame its too early for the great David Francie (not a child in Scotland who didnt hear him in his head while running with the ball).
I have a B7W to colour convertor fitted to my TV. I also watch the reaction of fans, you should try it sometime. It's somewhat fun.@@KeithWilliamMacHendry
Apparently George Davidson had to buy a programme before a Stirling Albion v Celtic match back then for his commentary because he didn't know the names of the home team !!!
Wasn’t he bloody brilliant, God bless him. Sad that a lot of these wonderful players are no longer with us. I was fortunate & privileged to witness these players, was a Rangers fan from 60/61 onwards. A Golden Age in Scottish football. Wish one could bring all of these great memories back.
@@janoginski5557 RITCHIE SHEARER CALDOW GREIG MCKINNON BAXTER HENDERSON MCMILLAN MILLAR BRAND WILSON You are so lucky to have witnessed such players which was before my time but my ma drummed this fantastic Rangers team into me in the 1970's when i was a wee boy WE ARE THE PEOPLE 🏴 🇬🇧
@@stephenturner6075 hi Stephen, cheers for sending your message, I was very lucky, such a great time & The Rangers had a wonderful team. It's such a long time ago, the very early 1960's for me 64 years ago & unfortunately I can remember so little of it. But I still have some vivid & colourful memories. I was even daft enuf to go and watch some of the Reserve teams playing, when people like Alex Willoughby & Denis Settrington played & Roger Hynd, 😂. Most of them have gone, Bless them for making Life that bit,( a lot) more exciting.
@jintsfan if you think Henderson was better than Jinky then you know nothing about football. Jinky was celebrated as a world class footballer all over the world . He played against the best and destroyed them .There is a long list of world class players and managers from Alf Ramsey, Di Stefano, Ghetto, Bertie Voghts,Mazzola, Fachetti,. and more who spoke about his brilliance. Did Real Madrid ever bid for Henderson ? because after wee Jinky destroyed them in them in Madrid 2 weeks after winning the European Cup they tried to might be past yer bedtime son so toddle of to bed sonny boy
Alfredo Di Stefano asked for Celtic to be Real Madrid's opponents for his testimonial game specifically to have Wee Jinky involved. That speaks volumes.
Blimey O'Riley, those presenters weren't backward in going forwards, were they? And you could see the embryonic Archie McPherson was going to have a rich future in football commentary, even by flubbing the names of those rugby clubs.
Pacific Shelf FC...ring any bells? You people need to give your head a wobble. The SFA and UEFA recognize the current Rangers as the Rangers of before the financial troubles. He without sin cast the first stone etc...
