Favourite Commentary

[Blue in Munich]

Davies was one of the best commentators of his time and was poorly neglected by the BBC as they kept pushing the awful John Motson instead.

Just shows it's all about opinions. Always thought Davies was too opinionated on what he was describing....not a patch on Motty for me.

Funny, I always found Motson opinionated and preferred Davies, just goes to show.

As a commentary moment I love the bit when Harry Carpenter, commentating on the Tyson Bruno fight in Las Vegas, forgot he was supposed to be neutral; "Go on….. get in there Frank!"

I preferred Davies to Motson. Motson trots out too many stats for my liking.

Not a favourite commentary but a somewhat memorable one. (although i didnt see it live but rather on a beeb documentary!) Alex Hay's comment of "Oooooohhhhh, that's curtains" as Greg Norman's tee shot at the 16th landed in the water during the final round of the 96 Masters. A haunting comment to a strange final round.

Rob McLean: “John Hartson is playing superbly today.” Sandy Clark: “Yes, Rob, there's no one better.” McLean: “So, who is your Man of the Match?” Sandy Clark: “Alan Thompson.”

Bjorge Lilleslien football commentary when Norway beat England in 1981.
Absolute classic he refers to Lord Nelson, Lady Dianna, Clement Atlee. Henry Cooper and Maggie Thatcher your boys took one hell of a beating !

I remember Eddie Wareing!

Up and Under!
He will be having an early bath!
A bit of a fracas going on there!
It’s a full coat colder on the East Coast!

Journalist: “So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?” Gordon Strachan: “What areas? Mainly that big green one out there...”

When Don Fox missed a kick right in front of the posts, in the last minute to win the Cup Final, he came out with the classic 'He's a poor lad' He just sounded so sorry for Fox.
