Think I'd be moody too stuck in front f that lot in the Upper Bullens. lol Bet he took some stick like they all did. Just good banter though.

I do remember a few rousing chants of “F**€ off Sinstadt, F**€ off Sinstadt” from the late 70’s.

But RIP to a decent bloke who would leave most of todays screamers and biased bell-end commentators, pundits and experts standing.

…have a feeling our very own @alan ball interviewed Sinstadt in recent times. My favourite was the commentary of the the great Frank McLintock goal for Bolton.

Frank Worthington?

Sad news,two bits of Everton commentary by him that were great,both in the late 70s,a game against Stoke when Bob Latchford scores a brilliant header from a cross by Ronny Goodlass ("now that's football!"),and for big Bob's brilliant volley against against Coventry ("what a glorious goal!")and a mention also of his calling out the booing of West Broms black players in that memorable 5-3 win they had at Old Trafford. Anyway, they're all worth watching again on YouTube.

Was going to mention that. Funny the things that stick in your head. in the build up to that goal ''Thomas, in acres of space''

Frank Worthington?

….bloody hell, a truly senior moment.

….bloody hell, a truly senior moment.

Much more likely that Frank McLintock scored a belter that none of the rest of us can remember mate.

I bet we didn’t realise that he was a massive RS fan and season ticket holder, who was born on the Spion Kop

I am aware of that fact, hence the reference.

I can't picture Gerald Sinstadt but I'm enjoying his commentaries anew on Big Match Revisited.

Aston Villa. To me now anyhow.

Really was a strong politician to take the decision to end apartheid in SA. I'm sure he would have been under huge pressure from his own party to hold firm from the rest of the world.
History hopefully will treat him well.
Rip.
