That's how the BBC used to do football coverage. They were the absolute business at it.
England, of course, had to win by seven and hope Poland could somehow beat Holland.
I imagined a scenario in which Poland won, we were 7-0 up, only to concede a last minute goal - and had I been old enough, I'd have bet on it, ie. on 7-1.
Story of my bloody life.
