Martin Tyler Loves the Saints

[Futbol1957]

Hi all, Just came across this video of Martin Tyler talking about the win over Arsenal this week (which he commentated on) shares some great insight on Eckert and the squad, a great tribute and story - Worth a watch 

Watch here

You do know he is a POmpey fan right?

Early in the video in the OP they mention a previous Martin Tyler video from a few weeks ago. It's also worth a watch.

I think we were MT’s first commentary match and him and David Bobin ruled the South commentariat during our salad days late 70s through 80s. Top man!

You’re confusing him with Ian Darke I think. Tyler is definitely not a Pompey fan

Glad you wrote that as is was also my recollection that Martin Tyler used to do some of the commentaries on our matches for what was then Southern Television.

David Bobin I thought always covered Saints well and seemed enthusiastic about the club, more than the others in the region. Was he a Saints fan ? 
 

Probably easy to enthuse about us then, great football, signing Keegan, and Lawrie  was a dream for the media. Bobin seemed the Adam Blackmore of his day, and appeared to have a good relationship and insight with the club.

You're quite right.  Doh!
