Such a shame that Geordie Armstrong died so young - a great servant to the club and a lovely, unassuming guy as well. That Double side was a proper team; no outstanding stars, but such spirit and determination. A great finish by Eddie Kelly and a brilliant header by John Radford too (and did Brian Moore say Frank McLintock had come forward into a shitting position at 3:36....!)
ITV technicians strike in late 1970 saw some programmes (or part of programmes) broadcast in B&W even though colour TV had been around for a year or two in the UK.
Ironically the corresponding game played the season before, was the first time a game had been broadcast from Highbury in colour. Again by ITV’s Big Match cameras.
George Armstrong R .I. P. A lovely man,great player!
This season we went on to do the Double!
Geordie Armstrong was a great man...I met him a good many times as a child.
Geordie Armstrong is a true Arsenal Legend and My Grandad
What a lovely man George Armstrong appears to have been.

Studio in colour. Arsenal match B/W. Why?

colourisation may be possible with modern digital computer programs and software. I've seen examples from other programmes originally made in B&W.
