Peter Alliss...

[AmandaJR]

Ok so he can divide opinion and be a wee bit boring BUT when just asked "did you ever do that Peter" when viewing a windsurfer on the sea he replied, quick as you like, "yes, I used to do it with Laura Davies on my shoulders until my legs went"...

Funny guy :rofl:

 

[garyinderry]

classic alliss.


he replied as if he was being serious then pulls that out of the bag! :rofl:

 

[stevie_r]

He's generally still quite good early on in the day, afternoons are a bit different. I wonder what he has for lunch at times.

 

[blackpuddinmonster]

He's forgot more about this game, than most could ever dream to know.
For his age i think he's brilliant.
Long live Peter Allis..:thup::lol:

Long live Peter Allis..:thup::lol:

indeed

and to really really appreciate him, first listen to Montgomerie's 'commentary'

 

[tyke]

Went to see him at the Theatre Royal in Lincoln last year, absolutely brilliant night.

The guy is a legend. People that get wound up by him astound me.

 

[upsidedown]

Heard a tale from one of his fellow commentators that 30 secs before they were due to go to air he was still fast asleep but on cue woke up and was straight into "classic" Alliss

 

[Mary]

He brings something different to the table, compared to other commentators. Seems a bit sharper so far this year - less mistakes?

 

[Darth Fader]

I know he gets a fare bit of stick but who will replace him? Just wouldnt be the same without him.

 

[Qwerty]

Did anyone hear his comment on Ryan Moores appearance?

 

[MarkKipper]

Bit of a shot panning round the course from the sky this morning and he says something along the lines of. Told someone yesterday that that piece of land was earmarked for the new ladies par3 course!

Could listen to him all day long, and makes Montys efforts seem even more embarrasingly bad!

 

[Fader]

Just me that can't stand the doddering old fool then.

yes he makes the occasional quip but he fills the remainder of his airtime with utter drivel.

nope, not just you. Competition bewteen him and Blowers on TMS as to who can speak the most drivel this week imo

 

[Smiffy]

Golf without Peter Alliss is like Formula 1 without Murray Walker.
Sure he makes the odd mistake, but he is a legend.
It will be a sad day when he's gone. Make the most of him.

Exactly. He realises that we don't need the minutiae of detail that some of the others bring. In the States I watched the Scottish Open with Frank Nobilo & Dennis Hutchinson commentating then got back for the last day with Sky. How I wished I could have had the Golf Channel back.

 

[CMAC]

Alliss is a class act, pretty unique and extremely interesting.............




nothing more to see here, move along :smirk:

 

[Khamelion]

I'd love to sit down to dinner and listen to some of his stories and if Terry Wogan was there as well, with both their dry humour, it would be a meal to remember.

 

[Moquillo19]

I think he's great. Only he could have had people in hysterics talking about how Fluff Cowan kept his lunch under his moustache whilst the live tv feed showed fluff talking to Tiger about his shot. All you could see was his moustache moving and Peter was in full flow of.... "I should've saved that for later. . Where's the biscuits?. . . I thought I had some pickles in here somewhere."
Classic

I'd love a round with them.
