David Coleman was meant to cover the first match in August 1969 but fell ill the day before, and Barry Davies recently signed by the BBC had his first exposure on the network.
Thanks for these. It's the first time i've seen the Home match [ my parents thoughtfully planned our holiday to commence on the first saturday !! ]. But i was at Old Trafford , behind the goal where we scored and seem to recall the Coach got back to South Norwood just in time to see it again on Match of the Day. God knows how we escaped with a point. Horrible half-mile walk from the match back to the Coach , my mate had his scarf nicked and one Man U fan was brandishing a knife. Happy days !
I was there for the home game, stuck at the back, hardly saw a thing.
