'He very much felt a part of the team'

  • Published

Geoff Taylor was BBC Radio Newcastle's Sunderland commentator in 1973 during the FA Cup win and until now, their only competitive games in Europe.

The station's current Sunderland commentator Nick Barnes has been speaking to Geoff's son Roger Taylor about his memories.

Taylor said: "I think he travelled with the club on, I'm guessing, a chartered flight. He travelled with the team over to both Lisbon and Budapest.

"He was part of the entourage - how you'd probably describe it now. He very much felt a part of the team and was on very good terms."
