BBC reporter receives huge Merseyside Derby surprise (Video)

As far as field reporting goes, this BBC reporter received the shock of his life.

Imagine that your a field reporter and you’ve been tasked with conducting random interviews with fans outside of Yankee Stadium while they’re about to host a World Series game.

As you ask a complete stranger a few questions on what he remembered from the 1978 Yankees championship team, he reveals he remembers it very well because, to your absolute shock, he’s a former Yankee and played in the ’78 World Series.

Okay, so the example isn’t great because most of the ’78 Yanks have recognizable faces, but you get the point.

Let’s pretend, however, the reporter didn’t know what former Yankee second baseman Willie Randolph looked like and approached him.

Today, BBC reporter Stuart Finders found himself in this very situation as he was asking random people on the streets what they remembered about the 1967 Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton.

One of the men he approached remembered the match very well. He should since it was Liverpool’s goalkeeper Tommy Lawrence who played from 1957-1971.

It doesn’t get much luckier, or embarrassing than that I suppose.

Lawrence told Finders that he remembered it to be a very good game and even gave us the name of the man who put in the winning goal.
