Favourite Commentator?

[Not Andy Naylor]

Chris Waddle?!

He's mental

The late, great darts commentator Sid Waddell: "When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer … Eric Bristow's only 27."

For comical quips it must be Brian Johnston with his cricket commentary.

Alan Green really gets on my tits. I had the pleasure of a train journey back from London to Wilmslow about a year ago with Robbie Savage, who was very chatty. He described Green as a short arsedmoney obsessed clueless **** with a chip on his shoulder.

Surely Pot/Kettle?

I've never met Alan Green but that sounds exactly how he comes across. Savage gets something right!!!!!

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Barries Davies is smug but you vote for Brian Moore?

The voice of Sunday afternoons and The Big Match...........happy days!

 

[lhughes]

Jonathan Pearce.

On the other end of the scale, I give you Ray Hudson who commentates a lot on Canadian channels and hurts my ears!..."It's a wet dream of orgasmic proportion"

Of today's commentators I really like that Geordie bloke on the radio, I don't know his name though.
Martyn Lewis on Sky has always been very good.
Alan Green, all ITV and Motty can all do one as far as I am concerned.
And while I am here John (know all c**t) Inverdale irritates me beyond belief.

Ouch ! he's awful ! he has a horrible Geordie shouty whine whenever anything remotely exciting happens, I genuinely have had to turn off his commentary on a few occasions.

PS It's John Murray I think.

Bit disappointed an Albion forum has yet to come up with Jim Proudfoot, Tony Millard or Johnny Cantor for their brief but oh so memorable gems.

He's playing like he's got a wasp in his gusset.........

 

[LamieRobertson]

Bryon Butler and Peter Jones were easy to listen to on the radio back in the 80s

Suppose it takes one to know one.

Who comes on loan to a third division team playing at an athletics stadium which they don't own driving a Lamborghini ffs?



Back to the commentators:

Football - Barry Davies all the way. Something excellent about him being middle to upper class but still being able to hit the right tone/notes on the working man's game (when it was still the working man's game.)

Other sports there can be only one - Richie Benaud. Sublime.

 

[Trevor]

Football - Brian Moore - "Look at the concentration on the face of Newcastle boss Kevin Keegle, er, Keggy Keegan, er, Keggy Keegle"

Cricket - John Arlott -(describing NZ slow medium pacer Bob Cunis who couldn't spin the ball) “And, as for Cunis, his bowling, like his name, was neither one thing nor the other.”

 

[El Presidente]

Surely Pot/Kettle?

Savage is more a pantomime villain, whereas Green is a ****.

Maybe but there have been very few Pro footballers who have succeeded with less talent than him.

 

[oldboyroy]

Barry Davies was all time favourite now it's either guy Mowbray or Steve Wilson on the beeb

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Rugby: got to be Bill McLaren; Cricket: Benaud (TV) and Arlott (radio). Legends all.

 

[ewe2]

The Walker/Hunt combo.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

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

Very much this.

 

[AmexRuislip]

For me it has to be Peter Brackley

 

[whitelion]

Ian Robertson - rugby union.

Peter Alliss - golf.
