Ahead of this evening's classified football results on Sports Report I'm briefly going back to
January 1969 when Liverpool and Leeds topped Division 1.
Sports Report, then
running as part of the Sports Service
on Radio 3, was beginning its 21st year on air and was still produced by its
founding father Angus Mackay. "He is the brains and heart of the show. The
man behind the microphone who leads and guides and inspires and cajoles".
Taking a look behind the scenes of Sports Report in 1969 was Harry Brown writing in the January
edition of Football League Review.
I'm grateful to John Flitter who kindly scanned these pages for me.
Eagle-eyed readers will spot that the photos on page 17 have
been transposed; the set starting with Vincent Duggleby are actually at the
bottom of the page and vice-versa.
