Ah Michael Foot. Ode to Everton

Geoffrey Hughes (Eddie Yeats in Corrie and Onslow in Keeping Up Appearances amongst loads more) must have been a Blue. He did this...



He also played the entire Everton team in the Beatles animated film Yellow Submarine. I'll have to watch that again though.

Need a laugh?

Don't think so.

He read the scores on the wireless - radio - for many years. When he retired he said he'd have liked to read out East Fife 4 Forfar 5. I often look out for the score at that fixture, even now.

PS Amanda Holden.

That's was James Alexander Gordon.

East Fife 5 Forfar 4 would have sounded better

East Four Five Four, Five Four Five

That's was James Alexander Gordon.

It was actually Eric Morcambe -

East Fife 4 Forfar 5 was the much-loved comedian's idea of the ultimate tongue-twister for anyone trying to read out the football results.

On Sunday, that result finally happened for the first time in the fixture's history - sort of.

The Scottish League Cup Group B tie between the sides went to penalties after a 1-1 draw. And the score in the shootout? East Fife 4 Forfar 5.

Had he lived to see that, it would surely have raised a smile from Morecambe, who came up with the score as a jokey greeting whenever he met his friend James Alexander Gordon, the popular announcer who read the classified results on the BBC for 40 years.

"Eric never called me James," Gordon, who died in 2014, once recalled. "Whenever I saw him over a 20-year period, he would say 'East Fife 4 Forfar 5'.
