I forgot to mention that Martin told me that the Charlton game was, along with others, due to have been featured on the forerunner to MOTD and that John Summers was due to have been interviewed. The Charlton game was dropped from the schedule at the last moment, so therefore, there is no film of the game.iaitch said:
Will he be doing a new commentary? Suuuuuuuummmmmmmmmers.Henry Irving said:Thanks @PeterGage, he said he got a lot from your chat.
I've spoken to Martin Tyler, for it is he, and he said it is OK to say it is him.
Lovely guy but I kept thinking "you sound just like Martin Tyler".0 -
Maybe that's best, the legend will grow bigger just as the crowd attendance, must be about 200,000 claim to have been there.6

My Dad was at the match (yes, he really was!) and spoke at length with Martin Tyler this morning - thanks Henry for putting them in touch. He described Martin as ‘a lovely chap’ and really enjoyed talking about the match and football in the late 1950s. He’d encourage any other with memories to get in touch, it would be great to get a record of this famous game with those who played a part if only from the terraces.11

For many years Jimmy Seed and then Jimmy Trotter kept match diaries, making comments on each game and player.
He are the pages for the 7 - 6 game

I was there as a 13 year old with a pal. Used to get the 696 (think it was still a trolley bus then);from Bexleyheath Clock Tower to Woolwich, then another bus to Charlton. After the game we would walk/run to Woolwich rather than join the lengthy bus queues. Great days. Was also at The Valley in recent years, can’t remember the year, when John “Buck” Ryan was a guest in a game against Huddersfield and he kicked the ball into the net from where he scored the winner in ‘57.3

That would have 1997 or 2007 for the 40th or 50th annivesery.
There was a 12 page feature in the programme.
Can you remember where the goals were scored from as Martin Tyler is keen to know exactly?0 - Sponsored links:

I believe Huddersfield started their unbeaten run after this game, which still continues to this day*.
*if you don't count league/cup/friendly games4 -
I assume you mean whereabouts on the pitch? If so, I can’t really remember. We used to stand on the East Terrace and as the game edged towards the end we moved round under the Covered End Stand in readiness to head for the exit. I remember the disappointment of having turned it round to lead 6-5 it became 6-6. You can imagine the jubilation when Buck Arian scored in front of us. Whilst reminiscing my biggest disappointment was the defeat by Blackburn Rovers on the last day of that season which meant we missed out on an immediate return to the first division.Henry Irving said:Orpington34 said:I was there as a 13 year old with a pal.

Martin still asking if anyone has any memories or information on the game for his documentary that is planned to come out later this year.2
