I would love it if ITV had got King Kev and Fergie to banter with each other at Euro '96.
Gary O’Toole predicts Michelle Smith to win a fourth gold medal in 1996.
“I can’t see any other woman in the final line up to touch her. She is a remarkable woman and nobody is good enough to beat Michelle Smith.”
Prediction around 20:50.
Also features Nick O’Hare’s commentary debut. around 18-19 minutes.
Those contemporary sports discussion or punditry videos are great. What people were actually saying or thinking at the time without the benefit of hindsight. There’s probably similar gold on tfk.
Gary definitely doesn’t seem to be casting aspersions on Michelle there… or was he?
I’d kill to see to see the full RTE coverage of the first final Myth was in. This video is from the heats of the last event she was in.
This is the infamous interview with Janet Evans. Evans didn’t cast aspersions on Myth using rugs, she was annoyed Myth had been admitted to the event for posting a qualifying time outside the designated time window.
She did it at a press conference iirc
