Bill 1,788 Posted November 13, 2017 What always surprised me was that the bloke working the teleprinter had such a bad stutterYou would get the home team''s scote then the poor fellow would have an attack and you would have to wait to see the other teams scorethat would sometimes be followed by him blurting out a whole pile of results before having another ''attack''happy days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 13, 2017 Did he use the "Famous Infra-Draw Method" KG?He never use to win as I recall so I doubt it. But listening to old Horace certainly brings back dark evenings listening to Luxemborg.Thing is if Horace''s method was so good, why tell every one else?

K Lo 221 Posted November 14, 2017 I associate his voice with the rugby results. I''m sure for any years he would do just those James Alexander Gordon and would read the footy results.I can imagine Gudgin''s voice saying "Sale", "Aberwyswith" and "London Irish".
