Tony Millard

[Lady Whistledown]

Not seen anything official, but various sources on Twitter (one connected with SkySports) are saying Tony Millard has passed away.

The voice of the Seagull Line, for those of us vintage enough to have frittered away many multiples of 35p per minute on it.

He was only reporting on Soccer Saturday last week, top man with a colourful reputation

 

[London Irish]

Wow that feels like an end of an era

 

[Lady Whistledown]

A few more tweets about it popping up now, mostly from people with connections to local cricket.

On the Goodbye Goldstone video they had Millard's commentary on Reinelt's goal at Hereford and it was just as passionate as Proudfoots commentary on Storer's goal the week before. RIP.

 

[Baaaald]

Terrible news. The voice of the albion indeed.

 

[Mackenzie]

RIP.

"The sad news for Albion fans today is that..."

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I seem to recall he was a fan of the classic commentator's sheepskin jacket

Tony Millard was very much part of the glory years. I once raced against him in a Banger Race at Arlington and my claim to fame was that I clipped him on the rear offside and fenced him. He got back on the tarck to try and get even! A really great bloke and genuinely nice guy. RIP Tony

 

[Nathan]

That is sad news. RIP Tony.

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

R.I.P.

Some commentary on this:

 

[gripper stebson]

The voice of 8049 - The Seagull Line.

As others have said - if true an end of an era.

 

[Mackenzie]

All the news, all the time on 0898 800 609.

 

[shaolinpunk]

A minute's silence/applause tomorrow?

His drunken commentary on Radio Brighton as the Albion players arrived back at Brighton station from Newcastle was a classic. Another Albion legend passes - RIP Tony.
