Unhinged Canary 375 Posted August 19, 2014 It was East Fife 4 - Forfar 5. [Y] Gordon''s legion of followers included comedian Eric Morecambe - on whose early-career radio show Gordon had been an announcer. In a 2012 interview, Gordon said that Morecambe always greeted him with a famous tongue-twister scoreline involving Scottish sides East Fife and Forfar - one which never happened, yet became closely associated with the BBC''s voice of the classified football results. "Eric never called me James," Gordon recalled in 2012. "Whenever I saw him over a 20-year period, he would say ''East Fife 4 Forfar 5''. I''ve got a tape of that."
