00:30And welcome again to another cup tie edition of the big match.
00:34All three tyres today having that spicy cup ingredient
00:37of teams from different divisions in opposition.
00:40Well, that nearly always makes for most excitement,
00:42and that was certainly the case today
00:43with our main match, Reading against Arsenal.
00:53Oh, misunderstanding there, ball!
00:55Oh, and a marvellous save by death!
00:58Also, Huddersfield against Fulham.
01:00That was Richardson-Dolan chipping it through.
01:02Smith has a chance!
01:03And he's with the goalie for the leg!
01:05And Birmingham against Ipswich.
01:07Is it now? Oh, what a great shot!
01:10And a chance here for Hatton!
01:12There it is! Oh!
01:15Dave Lansford!
01:16Incredible. So, a lot of good things there,
01:18but Reading against Arsenal, as I say, is our main match,
01:21and it's a match with a bit of history to it
01:22because the Reading secretary, Fred May,
01:24thought you'd all like to see this today.
01:25Reading against Arsenal, 1935.
01:28That was when they last met in the Cup.
01:30Incidentally, the score that day was 1-0 to Arsenal.
01:32The skippers were George Johnson,
01:34that's the one on the right of Reading,
01:36in the striped shirt,
01:36and those incredible shorts
01:38of the incredible Alex James of Arsenal.
01:40But now let's go forward 37 years
01:42to this latest Reading-Arsenal battle,
01:44one just as eagerly awaited.
01:46And the first good news for Reading fans
01:47is that their strong number three, Stuart Morgan,
01:50a strong man in the defence,
01:51had passed a test on an injured thigh and would play.
01:54Also, that Will Dixon, wearing seven,
01:56would be given a midfield role.
01:57But they were facing a mighty battle
01:59against the double winners,
02:00and Arsenal could even afford to leave
02:02John Radford out of their sight,
02:04such is the strength of their squad.
02:05The referee there, incidentally,
02:06Vince James of York.
02:08But it's a special day for two Reading players
02:10who had a spell at Highbury.
02:11Will Dixon is one,
02:12and the winger Gordon Cumming is the other.
02:15Only his second Arsenal Cup tie for Alan Ball,
02:18and a recall today for the enigmatic Charlie George.
02:21So much, then, for the crowd to savour
02:24as they wait for the start
02:25where any vantage point is a good one
02:27on a day like this at Elm Park.
02:33So Arsenal, in their familiar red shirts
02:36with the white sleeves, get us away.
02:38Reading in blue and white hoops.
02:40And for the fourth division club,
02:42surely the greatest day in their history
02:44since the 1930s,
02:45when Arsenal last came here in a cup tie
02:47and won 1-1-0.
02:48And Arsenal here,
02:50as champions and cup holders,
02:51are in Berkshire again like giants.
02:56Willow getting that well.
02:59Graham,
03:00but only laying that off for Gordon Cumming.
03:04Armstrong.
03:09Graham sending Armstrong,
03:11scuttling down that wing,
03:12but it's out of play again.
03:24Butler's throw again,
03:26and not finding many men free.
03:28Graham.
03:30Armstrong.
03:31Ball.
03:32Kennedy.
03:34To Kelly.
03:39George Graham again.
03:42Again towards Kennedy,
03:44the chance for Arsenal here.
03:45No, and finally it was Harley
03:47who gets in there very quickly
03:48when he looked as though
03:49Kennedy might have the chance.
03:52And a corner to Arsenal.
03:58Death with a lot to say to his defence
04:00who looked as though
04:01they might have left him
04:02very dangerously exposed there.
04:05It's going to be Armstrong
04:06to take the corner.
04:10Graham with his head.
04:12Harley.
04:13And then
04:14Wooller a long way clear.
04:19McClintock.
04:20Wilson was right out of his goal.
04:21What a dangerous thing to do.
04:23What a confident thing to do perhaps.
04:25And he's found Sammy Nelson.
04:26And Wilson was right out of his goal.
04:28And now this might fall for Chappell.
04:35Coming.
04:36Played for Butler
04:37trying to turn on it
04:38but George Graham
04:40fouled him from behind
04:42and a free kick to Reading.
04:44Well there was a bad misunderstanding
04:45there in the Arsenal defence.
04:48McClintock not sure
04:48whether to pass it back
04:49to this man Wilson
04:50who was out so quickly.
04:53And it's not the first time
04:54over the last few years
04:55that Arsenal have been
04:56a little precarious
04:57when it comes to back passing.
04:58But now it's the free kick
05:00to Reading
05:01and it's Gordon Cumming
05:02a former Arsenal player
05:03to take it.
05:04A little floater there
05:06and it was George Graham
05:07who hoofed it away
05:08but to Cumming again.
05:11This time in towards Chappell
05:13trying to get it on the turn.
05:18Wilson confronted
05:19by Harmon.
05:25Ball.
05:26Armstrong couldn't keep it in.
05:34Simpson.
05:39And Reading beginning to show
05:41increasing confidence.
05:42This time it's Chappell
05:43trying to get it through.
05:45But now it's Armstrong.
05:47Nelson.
05:49Kennedy.
05:51And this time the foul
05:53on Kennedy.
05:55Kelly.
05:57To George Armstrong.
05:59Now Arsenal with a lot
06:00of players forward.
06:03Kennedy.
06:05Kelly.
06:05Loop forward again
06:06for Ball to run onto it
06:07and death!
06:08A marvellous diving save there
06:10when it might have been dangerous.
06:16Harman to Chappell.
06:17Laid off nicely again
06:18for Harman
06:19with Cumming outside him.
06:23Still coming.
06:24A bit of a ricochet there
06:26and it wouldn't quite go
06:26for Haben
06:27but it wouldn't go
06:28for Rice either.
06:30Now Haben
06:30challenged by Ball
06:32and Reading's throw.
06:36Dick Haben.
06:39Waller.
06:40Curling it again in there.
06:42Wagstaff was rising for it.
06:43Cumming will hope
06:43to get it back.
06:45And in fact
06:46got it back very well.
06:47Harman
06:47laying it down there
06:48for Wagstaff
06:49to hit one!
06:55Harry Wagstaff
06:57a fraction high
06:58with that one
06:58but a knee filled up
06:59by Reading.
07:08McClintock
07:11not often he wastes
07:12a ball
07:12but
07:13that was way ahead
07:14of any of his strikers.
07:20Harman
07:21tried to backhead it
07:22for Chappell
07:23but Rice
07:25Charlie George
07:26nicely nodded on there
07:27for Alan Ball
07:27and away goes Kennedy.
07:31But Waller
07:33back to death.
07:48so now in the last minute
07:50of the first half
07:52certainly a first half
07:53that's done a lot of credit
07:54to Reading's resolve.
07:55They've fought
07:56and they've fought
07:57and they've hustled
07:58and there's a cross
07:58towards Harman
07:59with a header.
08:06He's won a lot
08:07of good balls
08:08in the air
08:08this afternoon
08:09young Peter Harman
08:10and there we go
08:11for half time
08:12a very creditable
08:14first half
08:14for Reading
08:15with a blank score sheet
08:16and the crowd
08:17giving them
08:18the right sort of
08:19ovation
08:19as they go in
08:20for half time.
08:25so still to come
08:27on the big match
08:27this afternoon
08:28more cup tie excitement
08:29as we bring you
08:30Huddersfield against Fulham
08:32and Birmingham City
08:33against Ipswich
08:34and the half time score
08:36at Elm Park Reading
08:37Reading 0
08:38Arsenal 0
08:39and we'll be back
08:40with you
08:40in just a couple of minutes.
08:53So Reading start
08:55the second half
08:550-0 still
08:58Nelson with a header
09:01Butler towards Harman
09:04Dixon
09:05and now Alan Ball
09:08trying to set
09:08Charlie George off
09:09for that one
09:10but Wooler
09:10and Morgan is a little
09:12slow getting to it
09:13and this might fall
09:14for Charlie George
09:17he can turn it back again
09:18and Dixon in fact
09:20a little clumsily perhaps
09:22but it goes behind
09:22for the corner
09:27so the all ticket crowd
09:28here packed into Elm Park
09:30and indeed some of them
09:31are even sitting on the rafters
09:32in the roof of the stand
09:33a bit drafty
09:34but it's not often
09:35that Arsenal come here
09:36and here's the corner
09:37now from George Armstrong
09:38Graham with a header
09:39Simpson Alter
09:41with his header
09:43now coming for Reading
09:50Stopped very neatly though
09:51by Nelson
09:53George Grail
09:57Butler
09:58to Cumming
10:01Kelly
10:05Rice
10:07to Armstrong
10:11ball back to Rice
10:15Armstrong who played the
10:16hold of that first half
10:17down that flank
10:18in fact has stayed down
10:19that side
10:22well that fell nicely
10:23for George Graham
10:24Kennedy now
10:26taken down by
10:27the number seven Dixon
10:28and a free kick
10:30to Arsenal
10:31Death at the near post
10:32trying to get that wall
10:33organised so that he can
10:34have a view of the free
10:35kick as well
10:42Graham
10:44to Kelly
10:45through the crowd
10:46and just passed
10:58so Death now
11:00with the goal kick
11:00for a relieved
11:01Reading
11:05George Graham
11:06Butler
11:08but Nelson
11:09for Arsenal
11:09straight though
11:10to Cumming
11:14attacking Nelson
11:15very well indeed
11:15but being forced out
11:16towards the touch
11:20did very well
11:21good work
11:21by Cumming
11:22oh and Harmon
11:23couldn't quite make
11:24contact to the far side
11:27but a lovely run though
11:28by Gordon Cumming
11:30he got Nelson
11:31going one way
11:32and then the other
11:33and then beat him
11:34for pace
11:34with a really delicate
11:35little cross
11:36at the end of it
11:40one that had
11:41Wilson scampering
11:42across his goal
11:43as well
11:43but Bob Wilson
11:44now with a kick
11:44for Arsenal
11:53Harley along one
11:54forward
11:55and Harmon
11:55racing for it
11:56outside the area
11:57Wilson taking
11:57no chances
12:05and Reading
12:06obviously intent
12:07as they were
12:07in the first half
12:08of hounding
12:09Arsenal
12:09for all they're worth
12:10Habin
12:13McClintock
12:13getting it away
12:14Charlie George
12:16laid back
12:16for ball
12:19Butler
12:19versus Armstrong
12:20appearing
12:20for the first time
12:21on this side
12:22and now Armstrong
12:23but there's
12:24coming again
12:34and the referee
12:35looking towards
12:36the lines
12:36where now a corner
12:37has been given
12:40ball must have been
12:41fractionally over the line
12:48so while George Armstrong
12:49waits patiently
12:50for the ball
12:52Simpson and Kelly
12:53right up there
12:58Armstrong then
12:58with a corner
13:00Death just getting
13:01a hand to it
13:02but only half
13:03getting a hand to it
13:04Kennedy
13:08and away goes
13:09Habin
13:10and it's three
13:11Reading players
13:12at the moment
13:13against two
13:14from Arsenal
13:14as they come
13:15steaming back
13:17Chapel
13:17for Habin
13:19can he get
13:20the cross in
13:21no
13:21Wilson is there
13:23so certainly
13:24in the opening
13:25minutes
13:25more pressure
13:26on Arsenal
13:26than Reading
13:30Morgan
13:31oh he's lost
13:32that one
13:32now to Kennedy
13:34and Kennedy
13:34is wide
13:36not helped
13:37by the pitch
13:38let it be said
13:38the ball
13:39bobbled
13:40as he was
13:41about to strike it
13:42but nothing much
13:43has gone right
13:43for Ray Kennedy
13:53Harman winning
13:54it well again
13:55Wagstaff
13:57an offside
13:58given against
13:59Liz Chappell
14:10John Harley
14:15and Simpson
14:16now with a kick
14:16for Arsenal
14:22oh misunderstanding
14:23there
14:24ball
14:24oh and a
14:25marvellous save
14:26by Death
14:27a dreadful
14:28misunderstanding
14:29in that Reading
14:30defence
14:30and Death
14:32was the saviour
14:35Harman
14:37and a long one
14:38clear by Waller
14:39who was in the middle
14:40of that mix-up
14:42McClintock
14:42so a very lively
14:44start to the second
14:45half
14:45George
14:46Harley getting it
14:47away
14:47Graham now
14:49pump left
14:51for Armstrong
15:00George Graham
15:01trying one of his
15:02famous one-twos
15:03Butler slicing it
15:04and it comes to
15:05coming
15:07Harman
15:09and
15:10Habin
15:18McClintock

15:35over his own
15:35head
15:36to Harman
15:39McClintock
15:42again the bad
15:43bounce
15:44and the corner
15:45going to
15:46Reading
15:53as Berkshire now
15:54draws in its breath
15:55thinking that there
15:56might be something
15:57to shout at
15:58Dixon
16:01the little cross
16:02under that Wilson
16:02crossbar
16:03and Wilson
16:04forced to put it
16:05away
16:06coming now
16:06to turn it
16:07back again
16:08and the ball
16:09going behind
16:09for the corner
16:16well two or three times
16:18in the opening
16:18eight minutes
16:19in the second half
16:20we could have had
16:20the decisive goal
16:25there's the corner
16:26Chapel trying to get in
16:27on it but in fact it was
16:28ahead of Kelly
16:28now it's Chapel
16:30Simpson missing it
16:31Butler was riding on it
16:32Morgan is in there too
16:33Harman hitting one
16:35but the whistle had gone
16:46Eddie Kelly
16:48George Graham
16:49a lovely ball there
16:50by Graham now
16:51for Armstrong
16:55but stopped just as well
16:57though by Butler
17:00back for Nelson
17:02and Butler going in
17:04do or die again
17:05Chapel
17:09and all the time
17:10Reading are closing
17:11this gap in the class
17:12between these two sides
17:15with a tremendously
17:16heartwarming display
17:17of fighting football
17:19Harley
17:24and coming who really
17:25this is the man coming
17:26number eight
17:27who really has shown
17:28exceptional skill
17:29down that right touchline
17:32Harley again
17:34and away goes Chapel
17:35and offside given
17:40not much in it
17:41but enough
17:49Kennedy's header
17:49towards Charlie George
17:54and Morgan keeping that in
17:56finding Harley
17:59not a good clearance by him
18:00though straight to
18:01Sammy Nelson
18:02George Graham
18:06Nelson
18:07Kelly
18:14trying to get Armstrong
18:15away
18:15the little cross
18:16by Armstrong
18:16will play
18:17and put into his own goal
18:19by the number three
18:22Stuart Morgan
18:27Waller was there
18:31but an own goal
18:41what a tragic mistake
18:44in that Reading defence
19:00and now Kelly
19:04George Graham
19:09and Armstrong
19:11and Armstrong
19:12and it was Armstrong's
19:13little cross that did it
19:17having
19:21an outcoming
19:33Charlie George
19:34trying to get the shot
19:35but ball now
19:38sharing a little bit of
19:39arrogance now that that
19:40goal has been scored
19:42Armstrong
19:47and death
19:52Wagstaff going forward
19:53again and won that
19:54well
19:54Chapel
19:56towards Hammond
19:59the cross by Hammond
20:00and McClintock
20:01really straining
20:02and stretching
20:02for that one
20:04and he really is
20:05giving from Wilson
20:06a piece of his mind
20:07Wilson not coming
20:08for it
20:09according to Frank
20:10McClintock
20:11and a skipper there
20:12really telling his
20:13goalkeeper off
20:22and so it'll be
20:24Habin now
20:24with a corner
20:25for Reading
20:26badly wanting a goal
20:28now to restore
20:28themselves
20:31Wooler
20:35and that'll fall
20:36now for Wagstaff
20:37and he's gone
20:39Wagstaff has done it
20:401-1
20:411-1
20:44Wilson was off
20:45his line
20:45and that little
20:46log
20:46from Barry
20:48Wagstaff
20:50opens it up
20:51again
20:58well that's a
20:59remarkable comeback
21:00there by Reading
21:02well that's a remarkable
21:08comeback there by
21:09very Wagstaff
21:11the man who
21:11finally
21:12and very cleverly
21:13and coolly
21:14let it be said
21:14thought about it
21:16and lifted it over
21:17the head of everybody
21:18to make it
21:19to make it 1-1
21:20so now the pressure
21:22could be on
21:22Arsenal again
21:24as this cup tie
21:26really boils up
21:28Harley
21:39so there might be a bit
21:40of trouble in the crowd
21:49well the Reading crowd
21:51and the Arsenal crowd
21:52all are trying to
21:53outshout each other
21:54now
22:01just kept in by
22:02Armstrong
22:02George Graham
22:03now
22:04planted again
22:05there
22:05and the ball
22:06and the referee
22:07said play on
22:08the Australian
22:08court that he was
22:09offside
22:10but he couldn't
22:11quite make contact
22:19Habin
22:26Kelly
22:28to George Graham

23:32cluster
23:32towards
23:32Harman

23:42to hold
23:43this fellow
23:43Gordon
23:44Cumming
23:46ironically
23:47a former

23:59Morgan
24:00also attacking
24:00him

24:05and finally
24:06the ball away

24:09Arsenal supporters
24:10behind that
24:10Reading goal
24:30Clinton
24:35dominant in the air
24:37and Morgan doing well
24:38to get a foot to it
24:39two
24:40Habib
24:43Harman
24:44nice ball
24:45there
24:45to the most dangerous
24:46round of all
24:47Gordon
24:47Cumming
24:51hitting a good
24:52hitting a good one
24:54nearly taking one of
24:55the St John's
24:56ambulance men
24:56it was a couple
24:57of yards wide
24:58of that goal
24:59but again a good
25:00deceptive run
25:01finding an angle
25:14Morgan
25:15to Harman
25:18and now to Dick
25:19Habib
25:22Wooler going down
25:24down the left
25:26Habib
25:26again
25:28teasing cross
25:29a high one
25:31and George
25:32Graham to get it
25:32away
25:33Charlie
25:34George
25:34ball
25:35and now
25:36Kennedy
25:45got past one
25:46of them
25:48and of course
25:49again for
25:49Ball
25:50to try and turn
25:51it in
25:51and the ball
25:52in fact going off
25:53Stuart Morgan
25:53who followed
25:54Ball
25:54well
25:56behind for the
25:56corner
26:06Armstrong to take it
26:14Death
26:15losing the ball
26:16I'm not surprised
26:17with Ray Kennedy
26:18pounding in on him
26:19Kennedy is a lot
26:21bigger
26:21a lot taller
26:23George Graham
26:24was right in there
26:25as well
26:28Rice
26:29hitting a good
26:30one
26:30oh a great goal
26:32Pat Rice
26:35only his second
26:37in the season
26:38and a one that
26:39really gets Arsenal
26:40out of a difficult
26:41spot of bother
26:42a really lashing
26:44left foot drive
26:47just inside the
26:48post
26:48and 2-1
26:50to Arsenal
26:54with something
26:55like 7 minutes
26:56left
26:56so Reading now
26:58for all their
26:59bravery
26:59and all their
27:00running
27:01somehow
27:02got to pull
27:03one back
27:15well they're much
27:16relieved
27:16Frank McClintock
27:17I would think
27:18now
27:22Waller pumping
27:23another high one
27:24and the whistle
27:24has gone
27:24and it's Arsenal
27:25who go into the
27:26fifth round
27:28after a brave
27:29brave fight
27:29by Reading
27:30by no means
27:31were they disgraced
27:32finally to be beaten
27:33by that winning goal
27:34from Pat Rice
27:35so near the end
27:37and so we get
27:38a final score line
27:40that reads
27:41Reading 1
27:42Arsenal 2
27:55so that famous
27:56old cry
27:56of lucky Arsenal
27:57went up again
27:58and I'm bound to say
27:58there was an element
27:59of truth about it
28:00yesterday
28:00but it's Arsenal
28:01who go into
28:02the fifth round
28:02and we shall see
28:03a couple of the teams
28:04that they'll be joining
28:04there a little later on
28:05when we bring you
28:06Huddersfield against
28:07Fulham
28:08and Birmingham
28:08against Ipswich
28:09but first it's back
28:11to Reading
28:11and after the game
28:12I spoke to the man
28:13who won that cup tie
28:14for Arsenal
28:15their Irish international
28:15fullback
28:16Pat Rice
28:17and I put it to him
28:18first of all
28:19that this wasn't
28:19one of Arsenal's
28:20better days
28:21no not really
28:22Reading fought
28:23very hard
28:24and the pitch
28:26also helped them
28:26a little bit
28:27because there was
28:28no life in it
28:29tell us about the pitch
28:30it was very dead
28:31it was dead
28:32and there was
28:33a lot of bumps
28:34on it
28:35you know
28:35when the ball bumps
28:36it seemed to be
28:37just going to their players
28:38you know
28:39like George Graham
28:40was playing one-twos
28:41and he was going through
28:41and the ball was
28:42coming off the mud
28:43and just going to
28:45one of their players
28:45whereas on a flat ground
28:46it would have went back
28:47to him from a one-two
28:48but all credit to Reading
28:49they really pressed you
28:50didn't they
28:50yeah they really
28:51pressed us hard
28:51did you get to the point
28:52where you thought
28:53they might even snatch it
28:55well
28:56when it was in the last
28:57it seemed to be
28:58coming up to the last
28:59ten minutes
28:59I thought
29:00well if we don't
29:01sneak one soon
29:02like you know
29:02it's going to be
29:03a replay at Highbury
29:03but I was confident
29:04that we would beat them
29:05now
29:05yeah
29:05then you did sneak one
29:07yeah well
29:08tell us about that
29:09tasty go
29:09wasn't it
29:11tasty go
29:12no it was just a throw in
29:13and I think Charlie
29:14picked it up
29:15and he just said to me
29:16go on
29:17just run
29:17like you know
29:18so I just run
29:19through the ball
29:19two and it was
29:20bobbling a bit
29:21so I pushed it forward
29:23and then I just hit it
29:23when we left foot
29:24it just seemed to go in
29:26like I don't know
29:26what happened
29:27whether it hit somebody
29:27or not
29:28they tell me it hit somebody
29:29I don't know
29:29but Pat Rice's goal
29:30yes I'll have that
29:31so a tasty goal there
29:32from Pat Rice
29:33but was it a deflection
29:34that's one of the questions
29:35for the man who 23 years ago
29:37went to Reading
29:37asked for a trial
29:38got it
29:39started out on his football career
29:40Jimmy Hill
29:41well as an ex-reading player
29:42first of all I must jump
29:43to the defence of the groundsman
29:44because Pat Rice did refer
29:46to bumps on the pitch
29:47but they weren't there
29:47at the start in fairness
29:48what happened
29:49because of the weather
29:50we've had
29:50as the players were running around
29:51the divot marks were appearing
29:52all over the place
29:53and making it difficult
29:54for Arsenal
29:54to assert their first division
29:56superiority
29:57by playing the ball
29:58about that much more quickly
29:59but were they lucky on the day
30:00well I think they were lucky
30:01to come away with a 2-1 win
30:03without any doubt
30:04a draw for me
30:05would have been a fair result
30:06and would have done
30:07nobody any harm
30:08on the afternoon
30:08because Reading
30:09could certainly do
30:10with the money
30:10they would have earned
30:11from a replay
30:12to help them in their
30:13promotion battle
30:13and Arsenal
30:14with such a large
30:15powerful group of players
30:17could have done
30:17with another game
30:18surely to make sure
30:19that they're all
30:19well exercised
30:21but it was a game
30:22that in future years
30:23I think people are going to use
30:24for quiz questions
30:25they're going to ask
30:25what cup tie was it
30:27where a team put the ball
30:28in the net three times
30:29and yet lost it
30:30and in fact
30:30it was Reading
30:31and it was yesterday
30:33and without any doubt
30:34they scored
30:35all three goals
30:36first one
30:37very unlucky
30:38but it gives us a chance
30:39to show
30:39Eddie Kelly's
30:40football brain working
30:41he's on the ball there
30:42number four
30:43and he draws the full back
30:44to the winger
30:45and then slides the ball
30:46inside him
30:47but unluckily
30:48it's Stuart Morgan
30:49who comes across here
30:51to intercept
30:51gets there before
30:52his goalkeeper
30:53and hammers it into the net
30:55that was the player
30:55who the night before
30:56was borrowing ice
30:57out of his players fridge
30:58to put on his injured leg
31:00and he was declared fit
31:00just before the game
31:02an unlucky start
31:03of course for him
31:03I didn't think at that point
31:04that Reading would be able
31:05to fight back
31:06but they did
31:07and they fought back well
31:08and got this goal
31:09it was a rugby tactic
31:11a Gary Owen if you like
31:12there's the ball
31:13going up in the air
31:14and you can see here
31:15Wilson comes out of his goal
31:16hesitates for a moment
31:17because he can see
31:18Rice getting it
31:19and that's a bad
31:20defensive header
31:21back along the floor
31:22in a perfect position
31:24for Barry Wagstaff
31:25to show that he can play
31:26first division football too
31:27and has given us there
31:29a wonderful example
31:30of top class skill
31:31saw the opportunity
31:33and put it in the roof
31:34of the net
31:34and finally
31:35the Pat Rice goal
31:36from the Charlie George throw in
31:37we don't actually see
31:39the deflection
31:39from the camera
31:40but we checked
31:41in the dressing room afterwards
31:42and without any doubt
31:43that fierce shot
31:44a brilliant shot
31:45I think you just saw it
31:46turn there
31:47caught the goalkeeper
31:48fractionally
31:49but it was a very good shot
31:50anyway
31:50so it was a deflection
31:51off Harley
31:52and all three goals
31:53went into the net
31:54off Reading players
31:55who was the man of the match
31:56well I'm going to pick
31:57a Reading man of the match
31:58because we don't get often
31:58very often get a chance
32:00to see them
32:00and that man for me
32:01was Gordon Cumming
32:02an ex-Arsenal player
32:04who played with extra
32:05verve and skill
32:06against his old club
32:07he operated in the
32:09number eight shirt
32:09in the right wing position
32:11he gratefully picks up
32:12that ball there
32:12from an Arsenal player
32:13and just look at this
32:15Maisie dribble
32:15he's taking on
32:16George Armstrong
32:17that's no easy thing
32:18to do to start with
32:18there's a nutmeg
32:19through the player's leg
32:21and a perfect cross there
32:22which very nearly
32:23was converted into a goal
32:26here he picks up a ball
32:27from a cross field pass
32:28and this time
32:29takes him on inside
32:31this time he's going inside him
32:32and hits it with his left foot
32:33just past the post
32:35but finally
32:36let's look at his ability
32:38to take on a fullback
32:39and cross the ball
32:40on the run
32:41it's a thing that people say
32:42wingers
32:42it's a skill that's come
32:44from the past
32:44and they're losing a bit
32:45these days
32:46but he's hurt
32:47and he hasn't lost it
32:47he intercepts that ball
32:49from Nelson
32:49and now starts
32:50to torment him
32:52speed up the line
32:53and without hesitating
32:55when he goes off
32:56on this final run
32:58there's the cross
32:59and look how near
33:00that was
33:01and how perfectly
33:01placed it was
33:02over the top
33:03of the goalkeeper's head
33:04for a forward running in
33:05but unfortunately
33:06for Reading
33:06nobody was there
33:07well what of Reading
33:08under Charlie Hurley
33:09without any doubt
33:10they've shown
33:10a lot more spirit
33:11for me yesterday
33:12and he still thinks
33:13they've got a chance
33:14of promotion
33:14this year
33:15well I don't want
33:15to turn him away
33:17from that thought
33:17but I think
33:18they'll do exceedingly
33:19well if they manage
33:20that
33:20but they'll be in the race
33:21in future seasons
33:22what about Arsenal
33:23well lucky or not
33:24for me
33:25they're a powerful side
33:27and if someone
33:28is going to say to me
33:29that they won't reach
33:29Wembley this year
33:30I wouldn't like
33:31to bet against it
33:33no in those great old days
33:34when they always used
33:35to call Arsenal lucky
33:35the trouble was
33:36they always went on
33:37winning things as well
33:38but now let's turn
33:38on to some more action
33:39and just three flashes
33:41intriguing flashes
33:42two of the Birmingham
33:42City Ipswich Cup tie
33:44the only goal
33:45of the game
33:45came after 75 seconds
33:47you will also see
33:48a curiosity
33:49an identical incident
33:50to that goal
33:51which went the other way
33:51and also an explosive
33:53incident at the end
33:54commentator Hugh Johns
33:55pictures ATV
34:02it's Francis
34:06and at the other end
34:07Dave Best
34:08also gets a feel
34:09of this greasy white ball
34:15a little nudge
34:16in the back
34:17from Stan Harland
34:17unnoticed by the referee
34:18Harland up again
34:23that's good over
34:24Lavin
34:25by Penry
34:27Gary Penry
34:28going in hard
34:29and fast
34:29then for Birmingham
34:36Hatton trying to turn
34:37against Hunter
34:38and couldn't
34:40Harland now
34:41for Birmingham
34:45pressure still on
34:46Hatton up
34:47chance on here
34:48for Campbell
34:49number 10

34:55Latchard the score

34:59and a startling
35:00goal
35:01right in the first
35:02two minutes of the game
35:04and Latchard the scorer
35:09Ipswich appealing
35:11or either Birmingham
35:12were appealing
35:14for a penalty
35:15as Campbell went down
35:16Hatton
35:17cut it onto the ball
35:18cut it across the box
35:19the easiest score in charge
35:20Latchard will have
35:21Pendry
35:24through ball
35:24a good run
35:25to Latchard
35:25from Francis
35:26Francis in now

35:36could open up
35:37and swallow him

38:17and it flew
38:19into the top
38:20left hand corner
38:21of the net

38:28of home football
38:29to be precise
38:31Huddersfield
