The life and career of commentator Archie Macpherson, whose style made him a feature of TV sport for over 50 years, and he was witness to moments of Scottish football history. Archie's voice became known to a new generation in the 1990s, when his commentary was part of a memorable scene in the film Trainspotting, and his style and delivery was impersonated and caricatured as part of hit comedy series Only An Excuse? Contributors include Hazel Irvine, Steven Thompson, Jonathan Watson and Hugh MacDonald
