    As an Englishman I found his commentary hilarious. "Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating!"
    We only lost 2-1 😂😂😂

    Lord Beaverbrook was actually Canadian but moved to Britain in his early 30s but nonetheless an excellent historical set of references. Also England did actually qualify for the 1982 World Cup although we did our best not to on this occasion.

    The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is given by the city of Oslo as a token of Norwegian gratitude to the people of London for their assistance during the years 1940-1945. A tree has been given annually since 1947. The tree lighting ceremony takes place on the first Thursday in December each year.

    a great sports commentary by a great sports commentator. This was 1981, He was so happy & passionate, he forgot to mention many others, He could have said (right off the top of my head)::"we have beaten England the land of the beatles, Rolling Srones, The Kinks, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rod Stewart, , Lulu, Petula Clark, Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdinck, Jrr Tolkien, Shakesepere, John Milton, Chaucer, Henry VIII, Cromwell, Elizabeth The First, Queen Victoria, Duke of Wellington who defeated Napoleon, Bernard Montgomery, Isaac Newton, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Peter O Toole, Joe Cocker, Peter Frampton, Alfred Hitchcock Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant"""""" and many more. I am not English by the way. I am an Asian who loves world history & an observer of global culture.

      Lulu is Scottish as was Sean Connery - and Rod Stewart is more of a Jock than English in reality - Peter O'Toole was Irish as was Wellington geographically !!! Confusing England with Britain (aka UK) is not uncommon with some folks though.

      Norway was (and is, unfortunately) a small football nation. All vwe got in the media was English matches every saturday. So all football heroes was English. I had a BIG poster of Liverpool team on my bedroom wall when I was 7 years old (1981). You just lay there and look at them.... My sister liked the good looking ones of course..And you could see them play when NRK decided to show their matches
