Man Utd announcer of the 60's & 70's Alwyn Thompson
Description
For a special episode, we're chatting to a stadium announcer from days gone by at Manchester United.
Alwyn Thompson was on the mic at Old Trafford between 1965 and 1973 and had a host of other duties that would seem completely alien to stadium announcers in the modern game.
Our regular hosts Rich Hurst of West Brom and current voice of Old Trafford, Alan Keegan, quizzed Alwyn about how he got the job, what his responsibilities were and how he looks back now at what was a special moment in his life long love of Man United.
There's also some unique comparisons between what Alan does at Old Trafford today and what Alwyn did back then.
Plus the guys at ShootMusic.com have sent us more tunes for matchday DJs.
