0:00:28 > 0:00:31JIM NEILLY COMMENTATING: That's nicely done. Well taken by Croker.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Lovely transfer.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Here goes Humphreys! Has the Ulster skipper got the pace?

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Has he got the pace? He has got the pace.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40CHEERING

0:00:41 > 0:00:43That is sensational!

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Out of nothing whatsoever, David Humphreys...

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Billy McAllen, into the start and finish chicane

0:00:50 > 0:00:54to take the win of the Northwest 200.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01CHEERING

0:00:59 > 0:01:01He's done it!

0:01:01 > 0:01:03The ball transferred inside to McConville.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06It's a goal for Armagh!

0:01:06 > 0:01:08CHEERING

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Cochrane keeps it in.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Now is a chance. Armstrong! Yes!

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Armstrong has scored for Northern Ireland!

0:01:15 > 0:01:17CHEERING

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hiya! We all need the action replays.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24They've kept me in a job for many years.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hello and welcome to Glory Days,

0:01:26 > 0:01:28where we will take you on a journey

0:01:28 > 0:01:32through the extensive sporting archives of BBC Northern Ireland.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35It's fair to say sport brings drama into our lives,

0:01:35 > 0:01:38be it through glory or tragedy.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39We all know the joy, of course,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41of that last-minute winner hitting the net,

0:01:41 > 0:01:45or the devastation of being on the receiving end.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50But mostly, televised sport offers viewers an escape from everyday life

0:01:50 > 0:01:52and that's where we at the BBC come in.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Capturing and broadcasting pictures since 1953,

0:01:56 > 0:02:00we've been there as our wee country has punched way above its weight

0:02:00 > 0:02:02over all those years.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06So, we begin our trip down memory lane with the 1970s.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Here's a snapshot of life at that time.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10EXPLOSION

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Do you know, I have to tell you, I still miss my mohawk!

0:02:33 > 0:02:37The '70s produced many glorious sporting moments for our heroes,

0:02:37 > 0:02:40both here at home and beyond.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42So let's kick off with 1970,

0:02:42 > 0:02:46the year when a Bull was chasing gold!

0:02:50 > 0:02:5310,000 have stayed to watch this.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Ooh, he's made it

0:02:58 > 0:03:03and 10,000 leap into the air for him. Look at that!

0:03:03 > 0:03:07He'll savour that moment the rest of his life.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08APPLAUSE

0:03:17 > 0:03:21'We had a wonderful working relationship.'

0:03:21 > 0:03:25We used to travel quite a lot over to Crystal Palace and White City

0:03:25 > 0:03:27and I used to have to run ahead of him,

0:03:27 > 0:03:29so the automatic doors would open

0:03:29 > 0:03:32to allow his pole to go through first.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Clements.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Best, just with Stiles between him and the goal.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39And he's got a clear chance.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41And that is 1-1!

0:03:41 > 0:03:43CHEERING

0:03:43 > 0:03:46As John Lister, three shots in the lead,

0:03:46 > 0:03:49pitching to the last. Up it goes.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, superb shot.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Stopped rather quickly.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58But there you have it.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05John Lister, a name to remember, wins the Gallaher Ulster Open

0:04:05 > 0:04:08with a fine, fine score - 16 under par.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15ENGINE REVS

0:04:17 > 0:04:20The winner for the second year running, Brian Nelson in a Crosley.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26People forget just what a brilliant driver Brian Nelson was.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29The year before, 1970, he was on a real high.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33The Crosley car company had built a machine called an 18F,

0:04:33 > 0:04:35which was a Formula 2 car.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36It's the one round in Ireland

0:04:36 > 0:04:39where it's a part of the British Championships.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43All these specialist guys come with their very specialist cars

0:04:43 > 0:04:47and, in those days, it was the last of the gentleman racers.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50They were a very tight clique.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Suddenly, this little car came from over the hill

0:04:53 > 0:04:56with a local driver they'd never heard of and beat them.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59CHEERING

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Chance for Best.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02And it's there!

0:05:03 > 0:05:04Beautiful!

0:05:04 > 0:05:07George Best, the idol of Northern Ireland...

0:05:07 > 0:05:09That was the first football match I ever went to.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11We, as supporters, probably felt

0:05:11 > 0:05:14it was him against the rest of them, even though it wasn't,

0:05:14 > 0:05:16there were some good names in that Northern Irish side.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17When you were watching Besty,

0:05:17 > 0:05:21it was like watching a pop star onstage. It was showbiz.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22CHEERING

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Best! A foul given.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Fascinating piece of football thinking by Best.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31This is Patterson for Linfield.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Magee breaking down the middle...

0:05:33 > 0:05:34..to Hamilton.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Coyle went in terribly strongly on Patterson. Hamilton getting it in.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43And flicked in by Magee!

0:05:45 > 0:05:48And I haven't seen a sight like this before at the Oval.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52The Linfield fans swarming onto this pitch

0:05:52 > 0:05:54and shouting, "We are the champions."

0:06:06 > 0:06:08We move on to 1972,

0:06:08 > 0:06:11an example of how our sporting icons gave us

0:06:11 > 0:06:16an identity around the world, other than that of bombs and bullets.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19So, take a bow, Mary P - the golden girl!

0:06:22 > 0:06:24SHE YELLS

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Mary Peters is one

0:06:27 > 0:06:33of the all-time superstars, in my opinion.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36And she goes clear yet again!

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Her charm, the way she smiled all the time,

0:06:39 > 0:06:42the image she gave,

0:06:42 > 0:06:45was one of those things.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Everybody who was interested in sport at the time

0:06:47 > 0:06:49will always remember that.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52This is the one that matters!

0:06:52 > 0:06:55It wasn't quite enough to ensure that

0:06:55 > 0:06:58I was going to be as successful as I hoped to be,

0:06:58 > 0:07:01because I had to run faster than I had ever done before

0:07:01 > 0:07:04in the final race, which was the 200 metres.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Rosendhal will set them off, surely.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09The roar for Rosendhal,

0:07:09 > 0:07:11but Peters staying well at the moment.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16I could hear the voices of people that I knew, calling my name,

0:07:16 > 0:07:20so I knew that I had to run for them and for people back home

0:07:20 > 0:07:22who would be watching.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Mary, come on, come on, you've got two yards to make.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Rosendhal hits the tape first,

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Butler second, Pollak third, Peters fourth, but is it enough?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33She's waiting for her time. The other three are up.

0:07:34 > 0:07:3924.08. She may have done it! She may have done it!

0:07:40 > 0:07:44The moment I knew was when Heidi walked across with outstretched arms

0:07:44 > 0:07:46to give me a hug and say well done.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49It was surreal.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53It was a dream come true. I'd worked so hard for it.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55I just felt so proud and so happy

0:07:55 > 0:07:59for Buster, my coach, who had invested so much of his time

0:07:59 > 0:08:01in making me an Olympic champion.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:08:05 > 0:08:08I felt very much that Northern Ireland

0:08:08 > 0:08:10was going through such a tragic time

0:08:10 > 0:08:15that it raised everybody's expectations for a better future

0:08:15 > 0:08:18for a few hours.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21I went for gold, I won gold

0:08:21 > 0:08:22and I've brought it back for you.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24CHEERING

0:08:24 > 0:08:27'I was proud to be coming home to my city.'

0:08:28 > 0:08:30# Some people call me

0:08:30 > 0:08:32# The space cowboy...#

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Irvine the only Irish player in the six yard box.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Terry Neill is up there. Neill!

0:08:58 > 0:09:00CHEERING

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Irvine got a little touch and Terry Neill scores for Northern Ireland.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10BARRELS CLANG

0:09:25 > 0:09:27This is Tommy Carroll

0:09:27 > 0:09:29'There was a lot of controversy

0:09:29 > 0:09:32'behind the organisation of that.'

0:09:32 > 0:09:34COMMENTATOR: The goalkeeper in trouble, not a good punch.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39And it's finally there from Martin O'Neill.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Aldo moving nicely into space.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Jairzinho to his right. No cover there. It must be.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49And it is!

0:09:49 > 0:09:51The Irish FA and indeed the FAI

0:09:51 > 0:09:55were concerned about its status.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Jairzinho.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Conroy giving up the chase.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01Paulo Cesar...

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Oh, what a goal by Paulo Cesar!

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Pele says that this man is his successor

0:10:08 > 0:10:11and Pele would have been quite proud of that.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14'That there, I thought,

0:10:14 > 0:10:16'was an example where it proved

0:10:16 > 0:10:20'if you've got the players, you could achieve a lot.'

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Goalkeeper not well-positioned and Derek Dougan the scorer!

0:10:24 > 0:10:26CHEERING

0:10:27 > 0:10:29ENGINES REV

0:10:36 > 0:10:40# You're dirty sweet and you're my girl. #

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Well, I think I've stood on the sidelines of this game too long.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'll have to go and find out find out what this football's all about.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19It was the first time ever

0:11:19 > 0:11:20that a Lions team had been allowed

0:11:20 > 0:11:23to play against a coloured team.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29They weren't mixed but at least it was a beginning.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32We were never political, but at least it was giving that

0:11:32 > 0:11:34sort of boost to rugby football out there, which was terrific.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Bennett to McBride to Mervyn Davies.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41We were the first team to beat South Africa in South Africa.

0:11:41 > 0:11:42The All Blacks had never done it.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46They were just marvellous guys and they had one thing - let's win.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Slattery with men outside. Inside beautifully to Phil Bennett.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Look at that acceleration.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54'They went through South Africa like the proverbial dose of salts.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56'They didn't take any prisoners.'

0:11:56 > 0:11:59And the cornerstones of that were Sid as coach

0:11:59 > 0:12:01and his fellow Ballymena man, Willie John,

0:12:01 > 0:12:02as captain.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06'I remember leading the team out in the Second Test

0:12:06 > 0:12:08'and the sun hitting me.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11'I just knew that there were 14 guys coming behind me

0:12:11 > 0:12:13'that were not going to lose.'

0:12:13 > 0:12:16When you reach and build that sort of confidence,

0:12:16 > 0:12:17well, you've made it.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Palmed by Brown.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20Edwards just eluding Ellis.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23McGeechan to Milligan. Out to JJ Williams.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Williams showing a good turn of speed.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Flicks it back inside to JPR. Five yards short to JJ Williams again.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31He's going to score under the posts!

0:12:31 > 0:12:33It was a wonderful achievement.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37They were denied a grand slam or clean sweep or a whitewash

0:12:37 > 0:12:42by a try scored by a Fergus Slattery that was disallowed by the referee

0:12:42 > 0:12:44who said afterwards, "Look, I have to live here, you know."

0:12:44 > 0:12:46And that's it.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50The Lions leap in the air. They've done it.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53And there, the man that's led them.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56We give them a heck of a hiding. I couldn't believe it.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58We had a happy hour after!

0:13:00 > 0:13:03'Northern Ireland, tremendous cheer for Northern Ireland.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06The flag carried by Mike Ball

0:13:06 > 0:13:08the Commonwealth pole vaulting champion.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12And Mary Peters greets the crowd! She's having trouble with that wind,

0:13:12 > 0:13:15but Mary Peters clearly enjoying her fifth Commonwealth Games.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Gerry Storey, the trainer of Northern Ireland,

0:13:20 > 0:13:22delighted and, of course,

0:13:22 > 0:13:25so is 24-year-old, Dave Larmour.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Bull is hauling himself along with 50 yards to go.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31There he is, content,

0:13:31 > 0:13:33confident that he's got the gold.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Oh, marvellous points for Mary!

0:13:40 > 0:13:42But has she brought more sunshine to Belfast?

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Mary Peters has retained the pentathlon title by only 32 points!

0:13:45 > 0:13:48APPLAUSE

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Another reason why she's known as the Golden Girl

0:13:54 > 0:13:55- our Mary.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57On we go to 1975.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02And a welcome return for international football

0:14:02 > 0:14:06back to Windsor Park after four very long years.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09As the Troubles escalated,

0:14:09 > 0:14:12more and more nations didn't want to come here.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Yugoslavia were heroes.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17They were applauded by the government,

0:14:17 > 0:14:19by the Irish FA.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21They broke the mould.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24Tommy Jenkinson to take this corner.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's a good one. Alan Hunter!

0:14:26 > 0:14:29And Hunter's there and Brian Hamilton!

0:14:29 > 0:14:31A fine goal from that corner.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35People walked out of Windsor Park that night lifted.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Suddenly, here was football back again.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Football with a win.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42They were jubilant.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44That was the start of the green and white army!

0:14:49 > 0:14:52That's what's known as riding a clean section.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57TYRES SCREECH

0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's up to John O'Leary

0:15:02 > 0:15:05as Brian Mullins has gone back to try to cover up.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06O'Leary in now...

0:15:08 > 0:15:11It's a goal. It's a goal. A great goal.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13A great goal by Sean O'Connell!

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Geoff Capes once again.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Geoff was an international shot-putter of repute.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Olympian, etc.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Huge man, I think,

0:15:25 > 0:15:28probably about six foot six and muscles in his spit, as they say.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31You wouldn't mess about with Geoff Capes.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33And they announced towards the end of this meet

0:15:33 > 0:15:36that there was going to be an invitation relay race.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39And I jokingly said, "I bet you they have Geoff Capes

0:15:39 > 0:15:41"running the anchor leg!" And they did!

0:15:41 > 0:15:45I don't believe this. That big man could never run.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Boy, was I wrong!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Watch this changeover.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51The big man moving and I'm sure he's pounding that track.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55'Away he goes. The crowd roaring! What a beautiful action!

0:15:55 > 0:15:59My word! He is moving. I wouldn't like to stand in his way.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02And the crowd cheering him.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03He blistered the track!

0:16:10 > 0:16:14Probably the most spectacular one was Ronnie White from Armagh

0:16:14 > 0:16:18in his little lightweight Mini. He rolled it over

0:16:18 > 0:16:20and it just burst into flames and I think the producer

0:16:20 > 0:16:23was pretty nervous at the time,

0:16:23 > 0:16:25because he immediately cut away from it.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Ironically, the man who was just ahead of him at the time,

0:16:28 > 0:16:31was a guy called George Warren from Neath in Wales.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34He was a bus driver and an undertaker driver.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37We thought maybe he was going to have to go back for this one.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40We have the good news that Ronnie White is out of the car.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Ronnie White is out of the car.

0:16:49 > 0:16:54Two cars touching. George Winter trying to come through...

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Jameson's on his left. He's got nobody out right at all.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03Nice play by Dickinson... to Jameson and Jameson scores!

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Looks for Martin Malone and Paul Malone!

0:17:09 > 0:17:11And there it is.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12CHEERING

0:17:37 > 0:17:40We ought to have the life terrified out of them.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46That's Bryan Hamilton, for Best.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50McIlroy wide on the left.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Trevor Anderson in the middle.

0:17:52 > 0:17:53McIlroy, still McIlroy,

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Anderson is there, so too McGrath. It's a goal!

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Krol...the shot...

0:17:59 > 0:18:03Oh, great goal by Krol, out of nothing!

0:18:05 > 0:18:08McCreery still showing he can run. Well taken, Dave McCreery.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Chance for something here. Great save the goalkeeper.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12But it's a goal!

0:18:12 > 0:18:14It's there. Derek Spence has done it.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Connor giving Hamilton a bit of room to move

0:18:19 > 0:18:21and Hamilton looking for Prenter.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Rafferty going. Bowyer's got a knock.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Prenter... Gary Prenter scores!

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Crusaders covering well, though not so well on that occasion.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Bunsen for Keegan in the middle. And that's it!

0:18:41 > 0:18:45This is Mike Gibson, McIlwrath, Joey Miles on the scissors,

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Gibson's outside and this is Mike Gibson.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51Great burst by Gibson. Mike Gibson, a classic try.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54John Watson driving a Penske

0:18:54 > 0:18:56stunned the world of Formula One racing

0:18:56 > 0:18:59when he took the chequered flag at the Austrian Grand Prix.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Throughout the season, his consistently good driving

0:19:02 > 0:19:04has brought him into the top rank.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14And Mrs Ann Ferris

0:19:14 > 0:19:17is about to win the Harp Lager Grand National.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19This is a great moment in Irish racing.

0:19:19 > 0:19:24Listen to the cheers for Mrs Ann Ferris. She has won!

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Jimmy Smith.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Out to Joe Kernan,

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Joe, on the 14-yard line, a shot and it's a goal!

0:19:38 > 0:19:40A goal by Joe Kernan.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42This is Colm McKinstry.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45In now to Jimmy Smith,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48across to Joe Kernan and it's another goal!

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Another goal by Joe Kernan.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52And look at that crowd!

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Just in front of the goalkeeper.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58And Moffatt sends it back now to Liam Beckett

0:19:58 > 0:20:00but Beckett tries a shot.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02I scored that day, I remember it well.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Bit of a volley from just outside the box

0:20:04 > 0:20:05with the left foot

0:20:05 > 0:20:08and with some assistance from the Linfield goalkeeper

0:20:08 > 0:20:11and then we went on to score three goals in the second half.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Dessie Dickson ran absolute riot.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Dickson gets it onto his right foot, has a shot. And it's there.

0:20:19 > 0:20:214-1 away to Linfield

0:20:21 > 0:20:24in a cup final. What more can you ask?

0:20:30 > 0:20:33CHEERING

0:20:33 > 0:20:35HE GROANS

0:20:38 > 0:20:41WHISTLING

0:21:07 > 0:21:09The design of the car

0:21:09 > 0:21:11follows the latest trend

0:21:11 > 0:21:14of using the entire car as a means

0:21:14 > 0:21:16of increasing road holding, by using the bottom

0:21:16 > 0:21:21of the car as a means of gaining downforce,

0:21:21 > 0:21:24which makes the car quicker round a corner

0:21:24 > 0:21:27and therefore makes the car a faster car on the circuit.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57It's a game actually which can be played by anyone

0:21:57 > 0:22:00but requires quite a bit of patience

0:22:00 > 0:22:03and sometimes a little bit of skill.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06As we'll be seeing, I think, during this short interlude

0:22:06 > 0:22:11with Prudence and Penelope playing on the lawn behind me.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30I do remember Black Saturday very clearly.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33It's a very hard circuit and an unforgiving circuit.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36I thought Tommy Herron was just a terrific motorcyclist

0:22:36 > 0:22:40and he was a sharp, clever guy, too.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42Anyone who followed the sport

0:22:42 > 0:22:45was worried about him riding on that day.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48He shouldn't have been racing because he came into the hotel

0:22:48 > 0:22:50and the hand was all plastered up

0:22:50 > 0:22:52and he says to me, "Could you take this off?".

0:22:52 > 0:22:56So we cut it with the disc cutter, took it off.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58The back of the hand was all messed up.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01I said Tom, "I'd give this a miss." "Can't", he says.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03"People's came from everywhere to see me out on these bikes."

0:23:11 > 0:23:12He X-rayed it on Monday morning

0:23:12 > 0:23:14and said it wasn't as bad as first feared.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18He said, "Don't be silly. If it's that painful, don't go out,

0:23:18 > 0:23:20"for you'll not be able to concentrate."

0:23:20 > 0:23:22I have to wait and see how practice goes. At the moment,

0:23:22 > 0:23:24I'm pretty optimistic about the whole thing.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28He said he would race no matter what happened.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31He was all right on the 500, but that big 750 thing,

0:23:31 > 0:23:33nobody could ride it - too long on the wheelbase.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35That was the one he went down on.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38I was waiting to see where Tom was and in came Steve Parrish.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41He came up to me and said, "You'd better go up the road.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42"Tom's down hard up there."

0:23:42 > 0:23:44So I went up the road and the bike was in two halves

0:23:44 > 0:23:46where it's hit the lamp post.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49He was still conscious, they were taking him in the ambulance,

0:23:49 > 0:23:51but as I say, he didn't survive the crash.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57I still think about him, especially at the North West when I go round.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59I always look and say, "Hello Tom, how are you?"

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Say hello up where the accident happened.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Sad times.

0:24:20 > 0:24:21CROWD CHANTS

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Holyk bleeding from the nose.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30We're in the last few seconds now

0:24:30 > 0:24:32and again...

0:24:32 > 0:24:33BELL RINGS

0:24:33 > 0:24:35There it is.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39And there's a mass invasion of the ring here.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43I'd like to win the first five

0:24:43 > 0:24:46and then I could play exhibition snooker to entertain

0:24:46 > 0:24:49the crowd even more, but I think

0:24:49 > 0:24:51I did turn it on last night.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53I made the 122.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25And Peacock certainly putting on the pressure.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27There must be contact there.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31But it's Ronnie White and Peacock and they've touched

0:25:31 > 0:25:35at an enormously high speed. Peacock over, Ronnie White out.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Norberg's going to win this one.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49CHEERING

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Do you have any regrets? You're keen on soccer.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Would you liked to have been a boy and played for Man United?

0:25:54 > 0:25:57No, not really. I don't ever wish I was a boy.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Boys have their advantages, too, but so have girls.

0:25:59 > 0:26:04If girls can play and get just as much enjoyment out of it, why not?

0:26:04 > 0:26:08Ulster want this ball.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10They have it through Paterson. Patterson goes left.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12He's got Parr in support.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Outside him is number 13, David Irwin.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17And David Irwin, two yards from the line, scores!

0:26:17 > 0:26:21Great break by Patterson, well supported by David Irwin.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22CROWD SHOUTS

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Inside the final minute of normal time.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32It's four years since the Irish Cup Final had to go to a replay.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35Then Coleraine and Linfield

0:26:35 > 0:26:38needed two matches after the final to sort it out.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Will Tony Bell fix it? Yes!

0:26:42 > 0:26:43What about that?!

0:26:49 > 0:26:52# You better knock, knock

0:26:52 > 0:26:53# On wood... #

0:26:53 > 0:26:57And it'll be Joe Watters of Grimsby Town to come on for his second cap.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04But only when the ball has gone out of play - now.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Gerry Armstrong I would take as the tops

0:27:06 > 0:27:09against the Republic of Ireland.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13I thought that was a wonderful goal

0:27:13 > 0:27:18and typical of Gerry.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24It was an unusual piece of play because Sammy Nelson was left back

0:27:24 > 0:27:26and he went down the left-hand side

0:27:26 > 0:27:28and he checked back onto his right foot.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31Normally, Sammy wouldn't cross the ball with his right foot

0:27:31 > 0:27:34but he put the most delightful cross into the box and tempted

0:27:34 > 0:27:35the goalkeeper to come for it

0:27:35 > 0:27:38and I remember I got in in front of the goalkeeper

0:27:38 > 0:27:41with a glancing header and that was the only goal.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43It was an historic goal, as well.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45It was the first goal between the two Irelands.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17I do hope I don't get stuck behind that guy on the way home.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19That's it from Glory Days.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22We do hope you've enjoyed our trawl through the 1970s.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25So many great memories.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27But there were lighter moments, as well.

0:28:27 > 0:28:28See you next time!

0:28:30 > 0:28:33'Down the broadway and down into the bend.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35'He'll be passing the pushed away Ronnie White's car.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38'It's off the circuit. There he comes.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40'And it's died! The car has died

0:28:40 > 0:28:43'before he takes the chequered flag!'
