Liverpool Bud Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'm really saddened to hear this My dad worked for stv from the early 60's He worked closely with Arthur Montford on studio Scotsport and many outside broadcasts As a kid growing up I was fortunate enough to go to many football matches - golf opens - and other stv featured sporting events and Arthur Montford was always happy to "autograph" things for kids in class - programmes etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP He hosted the studio coverage in our 87' cup win coverage on STV Think it was Archie who commentated ?
