James Alexander Gordon - One the most recognisable voices of my youth, and I'm sure many others of my generation... He was the football results before Sky and saturation coverage came along. If you were waiting the away teams score you knew whether they'd won or not by the change in tone of his voice 

Forfar 5 - East Fife 4

Wasn't it Forfar 4 East Fife 5? Anyway, he had a great broadcasting voice. Used to love Sports Report, Saturdays at 5pm.

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed that.

One of things that always confused a young bingo was when a game wasn't played and the pools panel awarded a home/away win or draw. I thought for a while that the match was decided this way!

Our tin bath was used in the scullery - and even it didnt have a lock on the door.
