Thanks @PeterGage, he said he got a lot from your chat.
I've spoken to Martin Tyler, for it is he, and he said it is OK to say it is him.
Lovely guy but I kept thinking "you sound just like Martin Tyler".
Will he be doing a new commentary? Suuuuuuuummmmmmmmmers.
I forgot to mention that Martin told me that the Charlton game was, along with others, due to have been featured on the forerunner to MOTD and that John Summers was due to have been interviewed. The Charlton game was dropped from the schedule at the last moment, so therefore, there is no film of the game.
My Dad was at the match (yes, he really was!) and spoke at length with Martin Tyler this morning - thanks Henry for putting them in touch. He described Martin as ‘a lovely chap’ and really enjoyed talking about the match and football in the late 1950s. He’d encourage any other with memories to get in touch, it would be great to get a record of this famous game with those who played a part if only from the terraces.
