Saint and Greavsie (5th January 1991) Part 2/2

Thanks to SteveW for this and the description below:

Saint & Greavsie was a popular ITV programme presented by ex-footballers Ian St. John and Jimmy Greaves which ran from 1985 to 1992. Previously the duo had presented "On the Ball" in the World of Sport show.

Although Greaves and St. John had been contemporaries in the 1960s football world, they had never played for the same club and were English and Scottish respectively. However, a bond was quickly struck up and a long-running partnership soon began. Greaves had only recently won his battle against alcoholism when he began co-presenting but he was forever cracking his unique brand of gags that would have the audience either laughing or crying. Jokes about Scottish goalkeepers were a particular favourite, in a bid to wind up straight man St John.

This programme is an FA Cup 3rd Round Special and features reports on :

Newcastle United's FA Cup tie with Derby County and interviews with Jim Smith (Manager) and George Forbes (Chairman).

Blackburn Rovers and interviews with Don MacKay (Manager) and Bobby Mimms (Goalkeeper).

Highlights and goals from recent matches :

Norwich v Nottingham Forest

Arsenal v Sunderland

Luton Town v Sheffield United

Manchester United v QPR

Tranmere Rovers v Southend (Including a goal 8 seconds after kick-off!!)

Stockport County v Wrexham

There is also an interview with Simon Stainrod the manager of Falkirk in Scotland.

Finally, John McCririck runs through the latest FA Cup betting in his inimitable style.

The result of the FA Cup tie between Woking and West Bromwich Albion was not predicted in this programme...

British football is ruined now compared to this.
