One of the great sports commentators and brilliant after dinner speakers.
Great shame. Despite his ramblings I enjoyed listening to the old boy. Always reminded me of the old member you'd see with a glass of port in the clubhouse. RIP old lad

Oh dear sorry to hear the news, always enjoyed his commentary. Saw one of live shows 3 years ago and could have listened to him all night
Yes will be sadly missed, I loved his commentaries. Very down to earth and gave the golf what it needed with respect to perspective. To much nowadays we over elaborate or make something more important than it actually is .. enjoy the game, enjoy the day and enjoy your surroundings

Very sad to hear the news.
I know that in recent times his presentation had become somewhat dated but to many of my generation he and Henry Longhurst were our introduction to golf.

The off piste ramblings were the best bits. Met him a few times, was always charming and very entertaining.

Excellent commentator. Made some very entertaining ripostes .
Good life.

As above, the voice of golf to our generation. He hadn't been well for a while, but what a life he must have had. Will be missed by many. RIP
Even in the days before golf achieved more popularity, you didn't win 20 professional tournaments and play on 8 Ryder Cup teams without being half decent.
And then he spent half a century enlightening people about the game he loved. Not just the technical bits, but the sheer joy and fun of it.
A long life, well lived.

Used to love his commentaries and how he wasn't afraid to say it how he saw it. His series "A round with Allis" was always a good watch with some interesting guests and chats.

Very sad, but I would say " a life well lived".
I will celebrate his life, not mourn his passing.
