00:00Well, in the first half of this match, there was no score, and it was really rather a dreary and
00:05sad 45 minutes.
00:06A lot of inconclusive, scrappy play with defences very much on top, and most people were pretty bored by it.
00:12So, in fact, we're going to leave out the whole of the first half and take you now to the
00:16second half,
00:17because there, in the second half of this match, there was indeed a real transformation.
00:22Well, there's the score. Football supporters are ever optimistic,
00:26and I think all parties, Sheffield United and Fulham supporters alike,
00:30are hoping for a little more out of this match in the second half than we've had so far,
00:36as Fulham kick off in the darker strip.
00:41Sheffield there in all white.
00:45This is Johnny Haynes.
00:51Mathewson.
00:53And Cohen up there in the thick of it. Punton now for United.
01:01Still with Fulham.
01:09Caligun, a long one back to his goalkeeper.
01:24This is Tony Wagstaff.
01:27And a very good one inside the fullback to Woodward.
01:31For Sheffield United.
01:33He's got another chance of a left foot shot.
01:34Straight to McClellan's stomach.
01:38Good start by Sheffield.
01:39Very good position, this free kick.
01:44Well, there are five minutes gone as this ball's bouncing around in the Sheffield United area.
01:55John Haynes.
01:56With the throw for Fulham.
02:01This is Earl.
02:03Cohen.
02:06Haynes.
02:07Yes, it should be.
02:08But no, that was Clark's head.
02:10Straight to Alan Hodgkinson.
02:13Just managed to scramble it about.
02:14I thought that was going in.
02:15This is a nice bit of play.
02:17This is Woodward now, going through for United.
02:20Right foot.
02:21What a good shot.
02:24Into the side netting.
02:30Good throw now.
02:32To Caligun, for Fulham.
02:39He's onside.
02:41If he can work it through.
02:42He's got to put it in.
02:48And disallowed.
02:57Jones.
02:58Woodward on his right.
03:00And getting it.
03:05Haynes.
03:06Callaghan.
03:09Three of the month.
03:10He was onside.
03:10Can he flick it over?
03:11What a good goal.
03:12Oh, it's hit the bar.
03:13How tragic for Fulham.
03:17How tragic that was.
03:33Stan Earl.
03:36Now then, Clark's in the middle.
03:38What a good header.
03:40Right onto his head, Alan Clark.
03:42What a good, good goal that was.
03:45But it's been disallowed.
03:47He's offside.
03:48Alan Clark was offside.
04:02Well, 20 minutes gone in the second half.
04:04And the game really beginning to entertain now.
04:07This is Haynes for Fulham.
04:10And that was a good centre going away, too.
04:15Would you believe it?
04:18What atrocious luck Alan Clark is having.
04:21He headed that ball down.
04:22It was scrambled off the line.
04:24Some superb defensive work by Sheffield United here.
04:31I suppose it may look a little bit chancy, but when a man's on the line, he's there for a
04:36purpose.
04:36And they are positioning themselves and getting this ball away very well under pressure.
04:43Haynes with the corner for Fulham.
04:48Conway puts it back.
04:53Haynes hit the ball again.
04:55Oh, they must get it in.
04:58Good heavens.
04:59Haynes hit the ball.
05:00Out it came.
05:01Earl had a go.
05:03And Hodgkinson grasped it to his bosom with the utmost thankfulness.
05:10There's still no score, and I suppose Sheffield United will be perfectly happy to go away from here with a
05:18draw.
05:20And look forward to disposing of Fulham on their own ground in replay.
05:23This is Mick Jones.
05:24He may make it absolutely unnecessary.
05:26And what a good goal.
05:29Replay my foot.
05:31That's Sheffield United.
05:33Gone into the lead.
05:351-0.
05:3635 minutes into the second half.
05:40Mick Jones.
05:43One swift cracking shot.
06:04Nicely taken.
06:05This is Alan Woodward for Sheffield United.
06:16Willie Smith there, miscueing with his right foot.
06:30And the Sheffield supporters whistling for the whistle, and the Fulham supporters whistling for a goal.
06:35Oh, this is Haynes putting it across.
06:37It's there.
06:39Oh, what a finish.
06:41What a finish.
06:43And need I say it, the man in the middle of all that is Alan Clarke.
06:48What a football match this is.
06:51What a football match.
06:55Can't be more than two minutes to go now.
06:58One all.
07:00What a grandstand finish.
07:03Well, in all honesty, Fulham did deserve that.
07:17Oh, dear, I feel, I feel, I feel for Sheffield United two minutes from the end and a goal up,
07:24and then the equaliser from Fulham.
07:35This is Badger.
07:37This is Badger.
07:42Well, I make it one minute on the clock to go.
07:46One all.
07:53oh very hopeful result i should think after what we've seen in the second half anything is likely
07:58at the moment fulham now with the tails well and truly up looking this is clark again oh he's hit
08:07the post he's hit the post they can't get it in
08:17well i don't quite know uh at what stage during that little affair
08:25that uh goalkeeper hodgkinson was brought down it may well be that the uh the ball itself did
08:33strike him because he fended off a couple of fearful shots there and uh really apart from
08:37the odd injury and i suppose this time we are seeing now will be added on that uh really is
08:41it
08:42i suppose we're my clock says uh 45 minutes gone in the second half so we are now are in
08:48added time
08:53and indeed it is a free kick but uh what a tremendous melee there in the uh sheffield united goal
09:05the score i'm still reminding myself is one one
09:22i don't think the players can stand the tension there that's it that's it it's all over
09:30a most fantastic second half there's the score sheffield united scoring first and then fulham
09:38equalizing in the dying minutes of this game what a football match we've seen here at craig
