Players like Frank would be absolutely lauded now.

Gerald Sinstadt (?) showing is all that silence is often the best commentary. Wonderful.

Yes Iain, it is Gerald Sinstadt. You're right, commentary that doesn't try and take anything away from the moment.

Compare and contrast with this nonsense recently:

Peter Drury: "It's Rashford! IT IS UTOPIAN! A launch of the most staggering type! Ruben's Reds have ripped right into it!"

Less is more when it comes to commentary. Too many are looking for a legacy quote.

Spot on.

I went to that match What a player Frank was

houndpig.bsky.social•76 days ago

I think I was, too. Either that or the one the previous season. I forget. I would have only been about 7.

Imagine what some of the footballers of yesteryear could do nowadays..perfect pitches, no contact, light balls....Think of players like Worthington, Curry, Cunningham, Marsh and of course the greatest of all...George Best.

I often think the same.
