For me the best city related moment was the Derby game with Neil Adams and Chris Goreham.. "here comes the corner!, it's gone all the way through" "CHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaNCE!" "it's gonna go in! it's gonna go in!" With Neil Adams shouting in the background! "You beauty! you absolute beauty, times up and the place is going bannanas"!
Brendan Foster trying to convince us that Tegla Laroupe, "the finest womens marathon runner ever, just toying with the field" was just warming up to overtake everybody in an Olympic Marathon jusat as she pulled out!
