00:00.
00:30Welcome again to the big match, and what a line-up we've got for you today.
00:34Three really outstanding First Division games, and 12 new goals for you to enjoy.
00:38Some of them quite superb, one or two of them, I must say, just plain crazy.
00:42Our main match is Spurs against Everton.
00:47Oh, a good cross by Neyver.
00:49Oh, a point saved by West.
00:52Also, Leeds against Leicester.
00:54And beautiful play by Cooper.
00:56And Manchester City against Manchester United.
01:00Porrigan's come off his line, have got a foot to it, but goling.
01:02And off the line by Oates.
01:04And that City United match must go down now as one of the greatest Manchester derbies for many, many years.
01:10But first of all, that game yesterday at White Hart Lane, also a very good one between Spurs and Everton,
01:16which brought two old England chums together for the toss-up.
01:19Martin Peters captaining Spurs in the absence of the injured Alan Mullery.
01:22Now, John Pratt gets the number four shirt for Spurs, and with Ralph Coates still out of action,
01:27Jimmy Naber continues at number seven.
01:30So that's the Spurs line-up, then, as we turn to Everton.
01:33Alan Ball is captain, having recently recovered from a troublesome groin injury.
01:37Mostly familiar names here, except, of course, John McLaughlin, bought a month ago from Falkirk.
01:42The referee today, George Hartley from Yorkshire, his first ever game at Tottenham.
01:46Among the 40,000 crowd, Sir Alf Bramson.
01:49So Everton to kick off, defending the goal to our right in their blue shirts with white shorts.
01:54Everton with no wins away from home this season.
01:57Spurs unbeaten here at White Hart Lane.
02:05But Everton now playing with so much more conviction that Alan Ball is back and fit in their side.
02:13But it's young John Pratt in for the injured Alan Mullery, with the throw for Spurs.
02:19Mike England to allow that to go over for the goal kick.
02:28Jennings with the kick.
02:36Ball.
02:37Harvey under great pressure there from Pratt, but Harvey getting away with it.
02:41And now Evans.
02:43Down he goes.
02:44Evans, who in fact is in the place of Kinnear.
02:48And Harvey getting a sharp word from referee Hartley.
02:51Incidentally, this is the referee's first match ever at White Hart Lane.
03:00Yorkshireman Hartley.
03:02And Ray Evans with Spurs free kick.
03:05A deep one towards Gilzean.
03:06Gilzean getting a head to him.
03:08Peters getting behind him.
03:09Chivers right in there.
03:11And my goodness.
03:13It was nearly Noles getting in there for the shot.
03:19Shot loose!
03:20Shot loose!
03:22Shot loose!
03:24Shot loose!
03:25Gilzean.
03:33Gordon West who lost his place last season to Andy Rankin.
03:41Off the head of England.
03:42Went into the arms of Jennings.
03:44Hook!
03:47Gilzean to chase this one.
03:49McLaughlin there.
03:50And Kenyon also.
03:51Harvey.
03:53McLaughlin.
03:54Oh straight to Gilsey and McLaughlin recovering quickly
04:05Peters to Noles
04:10Cut out by Ball
04:11Neat little flick there by Ball
04:17And our neighbour
04:23Oh a good cross by Naver
04:26One save by West
04:27From John Pratt
04:30Pratt was in there with a beautiful header
04:33And West did all that Everton asked him
04:38Not giving Peters too much chance there
04:40Oh and that certainly gave Beale no chance
04:43Husband now with Royal right up with him
04:45Husband and down goes Jennings
04:50Picked that out with no trouble at all
05:01Naver turned in nicely for Peters
05:06Naver
05:07Maybe a chance to cross it
05:08Preparing to take on his man
05:10And beat him
05:11And a nice cross there for Pratt
05:12Oh
05:14John Pratt
05:15And a beautiful goal it was
05:24Good work by Naver in the first place
05:26A nice little cross
05:29And Pratt there to finish it off
05:31and you canframes
05:36And a lovely
05:37So Spurs a goal after twenty minutes
05:41Through John Pratt
05:42No!
05:44John Pratt!
05:44No!
05:51Throws to Everton
05:57Hurst has come forward
05:59Not often that he does
06:02Ball
06:04Royal
06:06And now Peters to take it up for Tottenham
06:08And a long one to send Chivers away
06:10And West has come roaring out of his goal
06:12And he's done it
06:16Sliding on his rear end for a good five yards
06:20Who seem to be very busy in the first five or ten minutes of the game
06:23We haven't seen too much of Colin Harvey since then
06:25And it is at the moment in the middle of the field
06:26Where Spurs are looking to better prospect
06:31Beal
06:37Gilzeen nodding that off
06:38Very good indeed for Evans
06:42Cross again towards Gilzeen
06:44The back header
06:44Peters trying to get in
06:46And down Bills West
06:49Kenyon claiming there was a handball there
06:54But nothing given
07:00Husband now trying to fasten on that back header from Royal
07:03Leaving it there for Henry Yudin
07:04To hit one
07:16Now Chivers
07:20Thundering in the back there by Royal
07:21But Chivers kept possession
07:23And that's what counted in the eyes of the referee
07:25And that was Kenyon taking Gilzeen
07:27And I would have thought a little lucky to get away with that
07:29But now ball
07:31To Morrissey
07:35Newton
07:37But too hard for anyone up front
07:45But again a lot of aimless long balls being kicked out of defence
07:48Which the forwards still don't seem to be able to cope with
07:53And the back header there by Joe Royal
07:54The whistle that signals the end of the first half
07:57And Spurs leading with a goal scored by John Pratt
08:00No it's not half time
08:02Players thought for a moment it was half time
08:04But instead of that it's a free kick to Everton
08:07Henry Newton to take it
08:15And Evans to knock it away
08:16And now we do get the whistle for half time
08:20Spurs leading by that goal from John Pratt
08:23Scored after 20 minutes
08:25Still to come for you to enjoy the big match this afternoon
08:27Is that massive Manchester derby
08:29Between Manchester City and Manchester United
08:31A lot more besides
08:33But the half time score here at White Hart Lane
08:36Is Tottenham Hotspur 1
08:38Everton 0
08:39And we'll be back with you in a couple of minutes
08:53So Spurs get us away at the start of the second half
08:56Against an Everton side that certainly in the first half
08:58Showed little of the better form that we'd been led to believe
09:01That they had been showing over the past couple of weeks
09:04Looking very much like a side that is lying 17th in the first division
09:07With only four league wins to their credit all season
09:09As Knowles puts that one across for Peters
09:12But a throw to Tottenham
09:14And Chivers already making his advance towards that touchline
09:19Mike England again got into the area
09:23Peters and Gilzean are also there
09:26Two devastating headers of the ball
09:29Gilzean going towards this one
09:32Chivers
09:36Played there for Perryman and played a game for Chivers
09:38And he tried one on the volley
09:40Which if it had come off would have been such a spectacular goal
09:43But the angle was sharp
09:45And the skill was a very difficult one
09:52Certainly Everton at the moment
09:53Looking a shadow of some of the great sides that they have brought down to London over the past few
09:56years
09:56Morrissey
10:00And a corner
10:01Indeed it is
10:06And Everton now pumping a few men forward
10:08Because both Hurst and Kenyon are coming forward for this one
10:10Number 10 Hurst you can see there
10:12And there's Kenyon also
10:13There's Hurst with Peters
10:14Here's the corner
10:16Royal trying to duck in there
10:17Alan Ball
10:19And it still wouldn't come
10:20No and then it wouldn't come
10:22As Kenyon went in hard on it
10:25And there must have been a deflection off a Spurs defender
10:30The ball's got to be inside that crescent
10:36And the two big men from the defensive stayed up
10:38There's the corner again
10:40Royal looking for that one with his head
10:41Ball is right in there but he hasn't got the inches
10:44Neighbors got the feet but it's not away
10:47Chivers and Pratt
10:50Back there again though
10:51Royal to lay it off there
10:52For Kenyon to hit it first time
10:53But over that Spurs crossbar
10:55But really the first bit of sustained pressure
10:58That Spurs have had on their goal
10:59For practically the whole of the game
11:01Roger Kenyon will over the bar
11:14Crack of the game very quickly for Spurs
11:16McLaughlin
11:20Royal certainly taking a nudge from behind there
11:22By Mike England
11:23But the referee didn't spot him
11:24And Spurs no way
11:25And now Chivers under that right foot
11:28And a beautiful go
11:31Give him a chance like that
11:33And he so rarely fails
11:35A really wonderful shot there
11:37By Martin Chivers
11:41Crushing it there past Gordon West
11:47Beautifully taken goal by the big man
11:51Making it 19 in the season for him
11:54And two this afternoon for Spurs
11:58While West at least
11:59Can be resigned to the fact
12:00That he had no chance with that
12:04In fact there's a bit of a stoppage there
12:06Joe Royal
12:08When Spurs took possession of that
12:10Mike England in fact went in
12:11On the back of Joe Royal
12:12And I think maybe
12:14Conceivably a little lucky
12:15To get away with it
12:16The referee didn't spot it
12:21And Spurs took possession
12:23And never lost it
12:24Until it was in the back
12:25Of that Everton net
12:37So really emphasising once again
12:38That Everton at the moment
12:40Looking but a shadow
12:41From the great sides
12:42That they've brought to London
12:43Over the last few years
12:46And Spurs now rampant
12:48As Jimmy Neighbour takes it up
12:49Chivers inside him
12:50Peters going outside him
12:52That's the one for Peters
12:55Noles
12:57And the cross there towards Gilzean
12:59Playing it back there for Perryman
13:01To hit it
13:01Just past that Everton post
13:06A real whiplash move again by Tottenham
13:09Perryman steaming up unnoticed
13:13England
13:14Not as dominant as usual
13:16Ball there
13:16Trying to lay it off
13:17For Royal
13:17Royal is down
13:18Ball is in there
13:19Trying to flick it
13:20Towards that goal
13:21Gilzean
13:22Who put it straight back
13:23Into the danger area
13:24Ball once more
13:27Newton
13:30McLaughlin
13:34And now Morrissey
13:38Making again the right
13:39Sort of angle
13:39For the cross
13:40As Royal goes in
13:40This time with a foot
13:41And the goal
13:42And the goal
13:42But it's not given
13:43Not given
13:46Husband in fact
13:47Who banged it in
13:52Gilzean
13:52Perryman
13:53Chivers with his head
13:54To lay it off for Peters
13:57Fade again for Gilzean
13:58For Chivers
14:00And now for Nathan
14:01And now for Nathan
14:04Knowles
14:05And he got that across
14:07Very well
14:08Across the cross
14:09Round over
14:09From Cyril Knowles
14:14He was challenged
14:15By two Everton defenders
14:16With no space at all
14:17And yet he got across
14:18A very good looking centre
14:19Indeed
14:29Oh what a bad one
14:32Chivers
14:33Oh and West
14:34And a goal
14:35Yes it's given
14:36No dangers
14:38And Gordon West
14:39Has only got himself to blame
14:41What a bad clearance
14:43Straight to Gilzean
14:46Gilzean to Chivers
14:47And that was it
14:49Well West must be furious
14:51With himself for that
14:53A terrible clearance
14:54And that one two
14:56From Spurs
14:58Off West body
14:59And it is in it
15:06And now Perryman
15:09Played for Pratt
15:19Perryman again
15:20Always in the thick of it
15:21In the middle of the field
15:22For Spurs
15:22And Peters too
15:23And now for Knowles
15:24To Neva
15:31Beaten though
15:31By a combination
15:32Of husband and ball
15:33Now it's with Alan Ball
15:36Old goal
15:37Losing it there
15:38It's not been a particularly
15:39Happy afternoon for him
15:42And now Knowles
15:43Trying to get Chivers
15:44Away again
15:45Oh and Canyon
15:45Almost putting it past
15:46His goalkeeper
15:47And again confusion
15:49In that evident defence
15:57Tommy Wright
15:58Royal
16:00Wright going on
16:01Wright trying to get a shot
16:02Oh and almost
16:03To go
16:03Into his own goal
16:04From the other end there
16:05By Martin Peters
16:13Harvey
16:17The evidence substitute
16:18Howard Kendall
16:19Warming up on the far side
16:21Harvey
16:23Playing it through again
16:24And McLaughlin
16:24Right in there
16:25With a chance
16:25Hitting against the body
16:27Of Jennings
16:29He got in there
16:30Without anybody
16:31Seeing him at all
16:35Ball
16:35Played first time
16:37Under that crossbar
16:39Of Jennings
16:41Howard Kendall
16:43Warming up
16:45Royal
16:49Newton
16:50And husband
16:53England
16:54Chivers
16:55Chivers
16:55Trying to get away
16:56From Hurst
16:56And Hurst
16:57Following him
16:57For all he's worth
17:02Now it's going to be
17:03Morrissey
17:03I think
17:03Who goes off
17:04On the far side
17:04Morrissey
17:05In fact now
17:05Hobbling off
17:07And Howard Kendall
17:08Who's on
17:12Royal
17:17Watched so closely
17:18By Mike
17:18By Mike England
17:19But evidence throw
17:22Newton with it
17:24Royal
17:26Newton
17:26Hitting it straight at
17:28Royal
17:28And it's
17:30Noes
17:30Chivers
17:34Neighbour
17:34What a game
17:35Is Neighbours
17:36Having
17:37Peters
17:38For Neighbour
17:39Again
17:39Oh
17:40Played up
17:40There for Peters
17:41A beautiful piece
17:42Of play
17:43Prattas running in
17:44Hard
17:44And McLaughlin
17:45Was in hard
17:46As well
17:46And Kenyon
17:47Got there
17:48Before
17:48Any of them
17:51So good
17:52Evident defence
17:52On that occasion
17:54And a really
17:55Sparkling Tottenham
17:56Move down the left
17:57Involving
17:57Peters
17:58And Neighbour
18:00What a great game
18:01Jimmy Neighbour
18:02Is having
18:02Now with a
18:06Corker
18:06Gilzean
18:07To flick it on
18:08And now Pratt
18:09We've got a shot in
18:10But he is
18:11But it's too high
18:17McLaughlin
18:19Royal
18:23Oh that fell
18:24Nicely for
18:25Steve Perryman
18:26Pratt turning it
18:27On nicely
18:27For Alan Gilzean
18:29Chivers in the middle
18:32Evans hitting it
18:32First time
18:33Under that
18:33Crossbar
18:34And Willis
18:35It gave him
18:35No
18:35One for
18:37Error at all
18:37And Chivers
18:39Getting in the way
18:39Of Neighbour
18:41But that wasn't
18:42A very good piece
18:42Of goalkeeping
18:43In a game
18:43By Gordon West
18:44Allowing that ball
18:45To go under
18:45The crossbar
18:46Like that
18:46He had so long
18:47To line it up
18:49Evans
18:52Gently and neatly
18:53Back to Jennings
18:59Neighbour
19:02Tricking Alan Ball
19:03And that gave him
19:03A fair bit of pleasure
19:04I would think
19:06Feeding Ball again
19:07And finding Perryman
19:12Evans
19:16Good looking cross
19:17Towards Gilzean
19:19Back to him
19:20Past that post
19:20The linesman
19:22Kept his flag down
19:22And West
19:23Felt that Gilzean
19:24Was offside
19:26Looks like he may have
19:27Done his shoulder
19:28No good
19:30One of those
19:31Devastating
19:32Near post crosses
19:34That won just a glance
19:35And Gilzean
19:36Gave it that glance
19:43Evans
19:44Oh a bad ball
19:45There straight to
19:46Howard Kendall
19:46Alan Ball
19:49McLaughlin
19:52Royal
19:56Misunderstanding there
19:57Joe Royal
19:58And now McLaughlin
19:59Just past the Tottenham post
20:03That's twice
20:04John McLaughlin
20:05Has been right up there
20:06In that Spurs penalty area
20:07Once he thundered
20:08A shot against
20:09Jennings body
20:09And then just a fraction
20:11Wide with the second one
20:15Now McLaughlin
20:22Newton
20:25Hurst
20:29England again
20:30Making the running
20:30For that one
20:31And getting his head there
20:33Peters delicately
20:34Off there
20:34For neighbour
20:35Equally delicately
20:36Back to Peters
20:36And a lovely ball
20:37Out there
20:37To Chilis
20:38And away goes Chilis
20:40The referee's given
20:41Offside though
20:42Against Alan Gilzean
20:43Who was right up there
20:44With him
20:54Tommy Wright
21:05Oh a nice arrogant
21:07Little flick there
21:07Though for Tommy Wright
21:08Crossed first time
21:09And once more Spurs
21:10This time Evans
21:11Was there for them
21:15Ball with the throw
21:17And right again
21:18Giving ball little room
21:20And he's given
21:21In turn
21:22Tommy Wright little room
21:23But the ball going off
21:24Neighbour
21:24For the corner
21:28Kenyon's gone up
21:29Hurst is already there
21:30Ball with the corner
21:33And another corner
21:42Lower one this time
21:43Joe Royal
21:44Hoping to turn it back
21:45And Pat Jennings
21:46A wonderful save
21:51He really is the master
21:52Of those one handed saves
21:53Tremendous great hands
21:55He's got for hands
21:55Pat Jennings
21:58Husband
21:59Long sweeping ball there
22:01For Royal
22:01To take in his stride
22:02But England has conceded
22:04Nothing against Joe Royal
22:05So far this afternoon
22:06But there's a good shot
22:12Really minimum of effort
22:13There from Joe Royal
22:15Taking that beautifully
22:16On his stride
22:22Perryman going in quickly
22:23Pratt
22:24A bit like a pin table
22:25In there at the moment
22:29Now Newton
22:32Wright
22:35Royal
22:41Still Joe Royal
22:43Newton
22:44Kendall
22:45Better looking
22:46Everton move now
22:47As Spurs come
22:48Funnelling back
22:48Tommy Wright in possession
22:49Royal
22:51Beal's turn to take him
22:57Evidence throw
22:58We're now in injury time
23:04Royal
23:05Kendall
23:06Kendall
23:08The deep cross again
23:09And England once more
23:11On the end of it
23:11McLaughlin going in
23:14And Husband
23:15And McLaughlin
23:16And kicked
23:17Lay off the ground
23:18My goodness
23:20How cool can you get
23:22Cyril Knowles
23:25He stopped it on the line
23:27He stopped it on the line
23:27He looked as though
23:27He was prepared to try
23:28One or two skills
23:29Before he cleared it
23:30And there goes
23:31The final whistle
23:32The final flourish
23:33And a fine second half
23:34By Tottenham
23:36Thoroughly deserving it
23:37With those two second half goals
23:38By Martin Jivers
23:39One a classic
23:40And one a gift
23:41To add to the first half goal
23:43By John Pratt
23:43A very disappointing
23:45Performance indeed
23:47By Everton
23:47But a fine performance
23:50In the second half
23:50By Spurs
23:51And so the final score here
23:53At White Hart Lane
23:54This afternoon
23:55Is Tottenham
23:56Hot Spurs
23:573
23:58Everton
23:580
24:10Incidentally
24:10That's the big match's
24:11Third visit to Tottenham
24:12This season
24:13And in that time
24:13Spurs have scored
24:14No fewer than 12 goals
24:16And I wonder
24:16Some of the players
24:16Afterwards were saying
24:17When are you coming again
24:18Well still to come
24:20Today on the big match
24:20That tremendous
24:21Manchester derby
24:22City against United
24:23The goals from Leeds
24:24Against Leicester
24:25But now here's Jimmy Hill
24:26To take a closer look
24:26At that Tottenham
24:27Performance yesterday
24:28Well in fact
24:29Not only when we go
24:29To Spurs
24:30Do they score goals
24:31But they produce
24:31Vintage football
24:32As they did yesterday
24:33If they have a bad performance
24:34It seems that the big match
24:35Misses it
24:36I thoroughly enjoyed
24:38Their crisp
24:38Short passing style
24:40Vintage Spurs stuff
24:41At its best
24:42The big men yesterday
24:43Martin Peters
24:44Was in his usual form
24:45And right bang on song
24:47Martin Chivers
24:48I thought
24:49Wasn't quite at his best
24:50Although even
24:51Not at his best
24:52He can still score
24:53A couple of goals
24:53But it was the small men
24:55If they'll excuse me
24:55Calling them that yesterday
24:56John Pratt
24:57And Jimmy Neighbour
24:58Who really
24:59Took everyone's eye
25:00Spurs reserves
25:01Young players in the making
25:03And it was a pleasure
25:04To see them
25:04Producing this kind of form
25:06First of all
25:06We pick up Jimmy Neighbour
25:07And he shows here
25:09His extraordinary balance
25:10How he can fall
25:11And he's still up quickly
25:12And also the improvement
25:13In his laying of the ball off
25:15Again
25:16Resisting tackles
25:17Challenging for it
25:18Lovely first time ball
25:20There
25:20Through from Cyril Knowles
25:21And see the weight of this pass
25:23Down the line
25:23On the overlap
25:24Perryman was offside
25:25But Neighbour is improving
25:27In his laying off
25:28Now he wins the ball
25:29In for me
25:30The most classical move
25:31Of the game
25:32First time up the line
25:33From Peters
25:33And there's a left foot layoff
25:35Right in the space
25:36Left for Peters to collect
25:38A really lovely piece of football
25:40To watch
25:40But he spent all the game
25:42Tormenting Tommy Wright
25:43Here he makes a challenge
25:45And deservedly gets the ball back
25:47Look at this skill
25:48And a good left foot cross
25:50That goes just over Gilzean's head
25:52Now back to the first half again
25:54And where they nearly
25:55The combination of Neighbour and Pratt
25:57One clever dribble
25:58Nearly put Spurs in the lead
26:00But a fine save there
26:01From Gordon West
26:02Prevented it
26:03But in the end
26:04It was exactly the combination
26:05Of these two young players
26:07That started Spurs on the road
26:09Fainting to come inside
26:10Going onto that left foot again
26:12A beautiful cross
26:13This time a glancing header
26:15From John Pratt
26:15And Spurs a one-up
26:17A really pleasant performance
26:19To watch from
26:20Two such young players
26:21From Spurs Soccer Academy
26:22I must mention
26:24Two defenders
26:24They don't often get a mention
26:25Cyril Knowles
26:26Because it was the kind of game
26:28Where everything went right for him
26:29And ended with that
26:30Ice-cool clearance off the line
26:32And also Philip Beal
26:33Because not only yesterday
26:35But in recent matches
26:36He's been so positive
26:37And sure in his play
26:38And a rock in the middle
26:39Of the Spurs Depends
26:40Now we have some more action for you
26:42And it comes from Leeds United
26:43It's Leeds United against Leicester
26:45At Ellen Road
26:45Where the commentator is Keith Macklin
26:47And Leicester are in the dark shirts
26:48But first of all
26:49I want you to look at
26:50What we consider to be a bad tackle
26:52By Johnny Giles
26:53Where you might well say
26:54Are we playing by the interpretation
26:56Of last year's laws
26:57Or this year's
27:00Leicester move forward
27:02And yet another foul
27:04This time by Maidley
27:07Now Giles
27:08Giles
27:09Giles the man being spoken to
27:12Giles on
27:13Birchenall
27:16It's a free kick to Leicester City
27:20That one hitting Cooper
27:21And Birchenall
27:22High in the air
27:23Sprake watching it
27:24Just in case
27:24And it nearly did
27:25From the bar
27:26It's a goal by Brown
27:27That one gripped underneath the bar
27:30The Sprake went to punch it
27:32Brown was there
27:33But not he did
27:34Well
27:35Whether you call that lucky or not
27:38There's Sprake
27:39That ball went towering
27:40High in the air
27:41From Birchenall
27:42Gary Sprake didn't know
27:44Whether he was going to drop one for more or not
27:50Brings it under control
27:52Lottimer
27:53Jordan is in the middle
27:55This grey
27:56Grey trying to dribble his way
27:57Through and doing it so far
27:59Gremner
28:03Grey and Gremner
28:06Gremner the man
28:07Pushed up into the attack
28:08As always in a crisis
28:10Eddie Gremner
28:11That brilliant dribbler of a wall
28:13Pushing into him
28:14Gremner didn't quite get to it
28:16The first time
28:17But finally stabbed it underneath children
28:19And it's 1-1
28:27Greeny getting up well
28:29Giving Jordan a chance to run
28:31Wetworth to Gremner
28:35versuchen to win a corner
28:37Jordan
28:37Saw that well
28:39To Grey
28:42Grey now mesmerising them again
28:44And across the goal, he's there.
28:46One and one with another good touch.
28:49Gray, a superb low pass.
28:52There's Gray, the man who made the first and the second.
28:58There's Lorimer running out of frame.
29:11Now we come to the match that really has been labelled
29:13the match of the season, and it lived up to it.
29:16Manchester City against Manchester United at Main Road
29:19with a full house of 63,000.
29:21The cameras came from Granada Television.
29:23The commentator is Gerald Sinstadt.
29:25Stand by for a match full of atmosphere and goals.
29:29Today's referee is Mr Ray Tinkler from Boston in Lincolnshire.
29:34And the flag-waving and stud-inspecting
29:37is being done by Mr Garner from Liverpool
29:39and Mr Brooks from Sutton in Ashfield.
29:40The teams have changed ends,
29:43and so it's Manchester City in the white shorts
29:45and light blue tops.
29:48Manchester United in the dark socks,
29:50which may be the best identification.
29:52United kicking from right to left.
29:54Number seven here, Mike Summer.
29:56Bell close to him.
29:58Tommy O'Neill sticking to his task well
30:01and giving away the opening corner
30:03in the first 30 seconds.
30:04Actually, Tony Dunnett was.
30:10Somerby with the corner.
30:15And that was Doyle's header.
30:21And for Lee.
30:23And again.
30:26It's one of those awkward balls.
30:28He didn't know where it was,
30:30but he might well have scored there.
30:36He might have left an awful lot of responsibility on Stepney.
30:48Bell.
30:49Lovely work by Bell.
30:51He's made himself a chance.
30:53And Someroy and Stepney covers.
30:56Colin Bell.
31:03A wild tackle by Book.
31:07And he's going to be booked for it.
31:23Doyle's header.
31:25Davis.
31:27Mellor.
31:29Dunnett keep breaking down the left.
31:36Intercepted by James.
31:40Good work by McIlroy.
31:43Kidd is free on the left.
31:46McIlroy must give it to him now.
31:51Now the last one is black for the foul on Best.
31:54But the referee had whistled for the foul on McIlroy before it.
32:01Francis Lee getting the foul on McIlroy.
32:03And the foul on McIlroy.
32:03So that Joe Corrigan, by the far upright, can have a sight of the ball.
32:11Kidd for Charlton.
32:12Kidd for Charlton.
32:13Off the wall.
32:15Charlton got a rebound.
32:16Best.
32:17This is dangerous.
32:22Nearly half an hour gone and George Best explodes into action really for the first time in this game.
32:41Somerby's throw.
32:42Lee chasing hard and going over that tackle from James brilliantly.
32:46And a great cross.
32:52Stepney is injured.
32:54He made a brave dive and so did Wynn Davis.
32:57But the credit there was all for Francis Lee.
33:07Best.
33:11And Francis Lee is going to be booked for that.
33:25He's suggesting absolutely graphically that it was a dive.
33:35Well, Mr. Tinker was very close to it.
33:37From this distance, I must say I've seen worse this season.
33:40Boom.
33:47Billy Morgan, the dummy.
33:50He's just got himself into more trouble.
33:52No, he hasn't.
33:52He's made a good cross.
33:54And that was box header.
33:55Charlton.
33:55Another one on West.
34:02Tony Dunn letting fly.
34:08Best.
34:13Somerby.
34:14To Lee.
34:16To Lee.
34:20Still Lee holding up the challenge well.
34:24Book.
34:26And he's made space.
34:29Mellor.
34:38McElroy.
34:40To Best.
34:41The crowd not liking it because they think that he got Lee booked.
34:46Kids Cross.
34:48O'Neill.
34:48Best.
34:49And McElroy.
35:00What a day for the young Irishman.
35:10What a day for the young Irishman.
35:17What a day for the young Irishman.
35:21Kids Cross comes in.
35:22Kids Cross comes in.
35:23Just checked by O'Neill.
35:25Stopped by Best and put in the neck by McElroy.
35:31Wild, wild swing there by O'Neill.
35:35Which is going to get him booked.
35:37So that's three names now.
35:39Frank O'Farrell and Malcolm Musgrove.
35:42The new men at Manchester United.
35:44Francis Lee.
35:47Chip forward for Bell.
35:50That could have been it.
35:52Stepney got out well to smother.
35:55And Manchester United begin the second half with substitute John Aston on in place of Tony
36:00Dunn.
36:01Helped off just before the interval.
36:03Aston now going to have his studs checked by Mr. Tinkler.
36:09Mr. Tinkler quite satisfied.
36:12And it looks as though Aston may well be lining up in Tony Dunn's position to do a job as
36:18a
36:19short notice full back.
36:25As Doyle's long ball.
36:28James clearance.
36:30Lee.
36:37Best beaten by Book's tackle.
36:39Now Aston.
36:44Oaks back to Corrigan.
36:51Manchester United leading by one goal to nil.
36:56And no doubt much encouraged by the way they resisted.
37:00City's initial challenge in the first 25 minutes.
37:06Summerby.
37:10Davis.
37:12Led it away by James.
37:14McElroy.
37:16Kidd.
37:22McElroy couldn't change direction in time.
37:25Dowling to Bobby Charlton.
37:26Best free on the left.
37:27Here he is put in by a good pass from Charlton.
37:31McElroy steps over it and Kidd scores.
37:33No trouble.
37:41Manchester City in absolute disarray.
37:53All starting with that pass from Charlton to Best.
37:57McElroy lets it go on and nobody picking up Kidd at all.
38:02Really Manchester City's defence there are virtually non-existent.
38:09Brian Kidd the scorer.
38:10His fourth goal of the season.
38:12And Manchester City now with a long road to run.
38:17Key of Doyle's header.
38:22Fine header it was too.
38:30Doyle.
38:32Summerby.
38:36Cook.
38:39Francis Lee pushing it on for Miller.
38:45Lee.
38:46Lee.
38:47Lee.
38:48Lee.
38:48Lee.
38:48Lee.
38:50Lee.
38:55Lee.
38:55Lee would have been a might offended if he hadn't got that one.
39:02The chance for Francis Lee to score his seventh penalty of the season and bring his total to
39:1014 goals and to put Manchester City back into the game.
39:17That's the weight on Lee's shoulders and it doesn't worry him in the least.
39:3219 minutes of the second half gone and again alive and bubbling with possibilities.
39:56Lee.
39:58Beautiful ball for Bell.
40:00Here it is.
40:01Yes.
40:02Yes.
40:04Yes.
40:05Yes.
40:06Yes.
40:06Yes.
40:08Yes.
40:09Yes.
40:10Yes.
40:11Yes.
40:17Yes.
40:21One of the hits from the Malcolm Allison songbook.
40:352-2 the score line, and difficult to hear yourself think about this crowd now.
40:44Kidd.
41:03Manchester City absolutely rampant now.
41:07Somerby.
41:11What a game of football this is turning out to be.
41:22Gwyn Davis.
41:25To the bell.
41:29Mellon.
41:33O'Neill getting his foot to the ball for a corner.
41:42This is hardly the game that Tommy O'Neill came into at the back end of last season.
41:47When United won here 4-3 in what was really an academic exercise.
41:53This one really matters.
41:58Davis.
41:59Got away by Gowley.
42:01A dive by Vest.
42:05Boo!
42:07Morgan.
42:13Oaks.
42:29Donerkey.
42:33Somebody needs to cool it down now.
42:35This ball needs controlling.
42:37Aston.
42:39Kier.
42:45Vest.
42:48Vest is away.
42:51Morgan out here absolutely unmarked.
42:54Corrigan's come off his line and got a foot to it but Gowling.
42:57And off the line by Oaks.
43:07Alan Oaks.
43:08Alan Oaks.
43:10May have been missing once or twice when it mattered earlier on but what a saviour he was to his
43:16side then.
43:22Bobby Charlton with the corner.
43:27Corrigan's fist.
43:28Aston.
43:29And it's gone in off the line.
43:44Absolute bird adventure by John Aston and it struck somebody on the way through.
43:49It may have been Alan Gowling.
43:50He seemed to get the congratulations.
44:01Just under five minutes to go.
44:04The city now must find some reserves of energy from somewhere.
44:11Summerbee.
44:13Good shot.
44:14Good shot.
44:14Oh!
44:16Good shot!
44:17Oh!
44:22Good shot!
44:24Oh!
44:26Good shot!
44:36And there's a great shot!
44:44And he's there again and lost it.
44:46Summer B!
45:02And that's how I finished 3-3.
45:04Well, that's all today.
45:04Hope you've enjoyed it.
45:05Last week, we left you with a young man
45:07who came into the West Ham side,
45:09Addy Coker.
45:09This week, two young understudies.
45:11Sammy McElroy of Manchester United
45:13and John Pratt of Spurs.
45:16Our congratulations to them.
45:17Kids cross.
45:18O'Neal.
45:20Best.
45:20And McElroy.
45:23Then he had a chance to cross it,
45:25preparing to take on his man
45:26and beat him.
45:27And a nice cross there for Pratt.
45:29Oh, John Pratt.
45:32And a beautiful goal it was.
45:43And the peace.
45:44And the king.
46:00And the king.
46:04And the middle of the party.
