Miguel Sanchez Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Week 46 update Two deaths this week. Up first, commentator Gerald Sinstadt: Gerald Sinstadt, former BBC and ITV football commentator, dies aged 91 | Football | The Guardian Quote Gerald Sinstadt, one of the most instantly recognisable television sports voices as a commentator for BBC and ITV for more than 40 years, has died at the age of 91. The versatile broadcaster, who covered golf as well as the Olympics, will be chiefly remembered for his football commentaries, first for Granada TV in the north-west in the 1970s and also with the BBC where in 1989 he was famously its pitchside reporter on the day of the Hillsborough disaster. Sinstadt was one of the first commentators to criticise the racist abuse black players suffered, including during a West Bromwich Albion 5-3 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in 1978 when Cyrille Regis and Laurie Cunningham scored the crucial goals. His path to broadcasting might not have happened but for a cruel twist of fate involving his parents. Sinstadt, born in 1930, was the only child of shopkeepers in Folkestone and was evacuated during the second world war. Later, reflecting on the tragic death of the pair in a German air raid, he said: “I can still remember my teacher taking me out of class to tell me the news. I have wondered what might have been if my parents had survived. Who knows, I may have followed my dad and become a shopkeeper.” I'm not going to post footage of him reporting on Hillsborough, but I will post this clip of him commentating on Denis Law relegating Man United: Skip to 4:40 for the good stuff. Some finish tbf. Sinstadt died at 91 so he's worth 34 Base Points for @Sweaty Morph, with a Solo Shot bonus taking that up to 84 points. ================== Second death this week was former Wolves midfielder, Ron Flowers: Ron Flowers obituary | England | The Guardian Quote Born the son of a coalminer in Edlington, near Doncaster, Flower was spotted as a schoolboy playing for Edlington grammar school and then Yorkshire Boys. He developed his talents at Wath Wanderers, then a nursery team for Wolves, and signed for the Midlands club as a professional on his 18th birthday. The Wolves manager, Stan Cullis, gave him his debut a couple of months later in September 1952, against Blackpool. Flowers scored with a header in that match and played 20 games in the 1952-53 season, establishing himself as a regular attacking midfielder in a team that became a dominant force in English football for the best part of a decade. With Wolves he won the First Division championship in 1953-54, 1957-58 and 1958-59 – and the FA Cup in 1960 after a 3-0 defeat of Blackburn Rovers. He also played in the pioneering “floodlit friendlies” at Wolves against continental European sides such as Honved and Real Madrid, which caught the imagination of the British public. I think the best thing you should read if you're unfamiliar with him is this tribute on Wolves' website: A tribute to Ron Flowers | Wolverhampton Wanderers FC (wolves.co.uk) Flowers won three league titles and an FA Cup with Wolves. He had an unremarkable international career. Flowers died at 87, so he's worth 38 Base Points for @Ben Twilly and @pub car king, with a Deadly Duo bonus giving them both a total of 63 points.
