<description>The Kickabout Podcast recorded an interview with Arthur in 2009 for our Boot Room show. Mickey Weir, Joe Tortolano and Gordon Dallas interviewed the great broadcaster in what turned out to be a cracking episode. He talks of his association with Morton going back to 1942. He recalls seeing Sir Stanley Matthews turn out for Morton during the war. He talks about being in Egypt with the army while Morton played Rangers in the 1948 cup final where 133,000 fans watched the replay!! He divulges that STV almost never covered the famous Real Madrid v Eintracht Frankfurt game in 1960 as well as telling us what his favourite ever interview was. Plus we talk about his lucky jacket (worn 500 times and given to a Dundee charity!) and much more. A real gentleman. He loved the game and the game loved him. Arthur Montford 1934-2014</description>
