Harwich and ParkistoneBournemouth and Boscombe FC was one of the great football club names of my youth along with Brighton and Hove Albion and Third Lannark
And Bradford Park Avenue and ‘Heart Of Midlothian’. Those full names take me straight back to Len Martin reading out the classified check in the early sixties. It used to annoy me even then as a little kid that you could tell what the final result was just from the sing song way he used to read out the home team and its score.Bournemouth and Boscombe FC was one of the great football club names of my youth along with Brighton and Hove Albion and Third Lannark

Another Subbuteo favourite which was always read out on Grandstand final score was East Stirlingshire with the shire pronounced as shire as in shire horseAnd Bradford Park Avenue and ‘Heart Of Midlothian’.

Dancing on the streets of Rath tonight.Some of the Scottish names are amazing.
Queen of the South! Love it. A good quiz is knowing which town these clubs represent. East Fife, St Johnstone, Raith Rovers, Albion Rovers. Wonderful names.
I have a very clear memory of my eight-year-old self being thrilled beyond all comprehension when I first saw a Leicester score figure followed by the word in brackets on the vidiprinter: Leicester 6 (SIX) Carlisle 0. My world changed at that moment.And Bradford Park Avenue and ‘Heart Of Midlothian’. Those full names take me straight back to Len Martin reading out the classified check in the early sixties.

6-0 scorelines have that kind of effect. The day we lost 6-0 to the Smoggies in 1990, I happened to be living in the States. After I’d got the final score off the World Service, I went out to get some groceries. I was still caught up in shouting dog’s abuse at Pleat Out when I crashed my car into the back of a stationary truck at the bottom of our road. It cost me almost $3000 to fix the damage, which on the International Pleat Scale of Mayhem was nothing.I have a very clear memory of my eight-year-old self being thrilled beyond all comprehension when I first saw a Leicester score figure followed by the word in brackets on the vidiprinter: Leicester 6 (six) Carlisle 0.

That's right, I'd forgotten the Athletic, well done.I believe they were Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, even better

Watching the highlights of that game on MOTD was the first and only time I could fully appreciate the beauty in that Dirty Leeds side.As per my 'Spirit of Radio' feature in The Roof Fanzine, my first teleprinter bracketed score was Leeds Utd 7 [SEVEN] Southampton 0

But before he came on there was the teleprinter and you didn't know the outcome because they didn't give score updates on Grandstand in the early days.
