Wide World Of Sport Spoof

[StitchedUp2]

Many years ago I owned an audio cassette of a spoof Wide World of sport. Impersonators did the voice of Murray Walker, james hunt, Richie Benaud, Tony Grieg etc Things that were included on the tape included a F1 race that ended in Nigel Mansel causing a big crash to excite the crowd, Various cricket commentaries that included ' The indian Batsman Rubbish Bini has been left out by the selectors, an appeal by the bowler and the finger goes up, the umpire's Hugh Jaas' and Aussie Rugby League commentaries.

I have tried google but nothing matches . The friend I copied it off died a years ago and I lost the recording when my car got broken into around the same time.

It always brought a smile to my face and I could do with cheering up now.

If anyone can tell me where I can get a copy I would be extremely grateful

Is definitely Australian - as I mentioned in my reply, we have the series on tape. It really is worth a listen. Very funny.

Cheers!

Just did a quick search on itunes and the series (with clips you can listen to) is on there.

The artist is 'The 12th Man' and the album is 'Boned!'

Thanks very much for the help. I've just bought a couple of CDs in the series. You have just made me a very happy man.
Thanks again
