08:25Unfortunately for Graham, the referee was unsighted.
08:29Now it's more for West Ham.
08:35A good ball to Hurst.
08:38It's beginning to come deep to try and get away from Harris and Hinton,
08:42marking him so closely.
08:46Byrne, and that one was deflected by Boyle.
08:50That's why Bonetti was fought.
