Who is your favourite football commentator (television or radio)?

Mine is the late Hugh Johns. Back in the days when we in the south, on Sunday afternoons, got The Big Match (or, occasionally, Southern Soccer with David Bobbin), and ITV was regionalised, Hugh Johns was the commentator for ATV, so he covered football in the Midlands. With his infectious enthusiasm for the game, he made the dullest game seem exciting.

Brian Moore or John Motson, like Al Green on the radio

For me Brian Moore was the worst by a country mile. He could give a World Cup Final the sense of occasion of a playground kickabout. I also remember him trying to introduce flashy terms into his commentary like 'name take' for a booking (I think Jimmy Hill must've had a word in his ear) His screaming when a goal was scored got right up my nose too

Barry Davies is my favourite of all time.

Of the current selection, I quite like Jon Champion.

Never been a huge fan of Motty, although he's still better than most. He spends far too much time trying to wow us with his stats. I often get the impression he's just waiting for a particular event to happen so he can give us a stat on it. In recent years he's really started to sound like a confused old man too.

John Motson and Peter Jones in the 80s. Until Motson became a cliche of himself.

Cannot stand Alan Green. Pretty much every single game he spends time moaning about people being late back to their seats at half time. Does he not realize that they have to queue for their refreshments whereas I suspect Mr AG gets his readily available in the press area!
