Archie McPherson Commentated On A Norwich Game Once...

For some reason he was sent south, way, WAY down south from his usual base of Scotland and the SPL to commentate on our FA Cup 5th round tie at Carra' against Sheffield United in 1989.

For our last goal, he said that the Blades defence "has bin' burgled..." in an excitable broad accent that really made the commentary-he was living the game, thanks Archie!
