Eric Morecambe's prediction comes true!

Today, in the Scottish League Cup, East Fife were at home to Forfar Athletic.

The result? East Fife 4, Forfar 5.

I kid you not!

That was on penalties though.

Anyway I always thought it was East Fife 5 - Forfar 4.

I always thought Eric used to say "East Fife 4, Forfar 5 (on penalties)"

Seems both our memories are a little rusty, Chappers. :D

I don't think "Penalties" decided games then.

Thus proving the man's gift as a clairvoyant.

I don't remember Morecambe's but I do remember Mel Smith doing this same gag on NTNON and it went East Fife Five, Forfar so far Four.
