Crispian Crunchie Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 1. Bill McLaren. The Voice of Rugby, and unquestionably the finest commentator of all time, in any sport. 2. Peter O'Sullevan. His majestically hypnotic tones made dull horse races intersting. 3. David Francie. The Scots football commentator. 4. Syd Waddell ("His eyes are bulging like the belly of a hungry chaffinch"). 5. John Arlott - literate, cultured, perfection in a voice like Bailey's .

You're Boys took a Helllllluva beating" 2. Henry Longhurst (Chingy hates golf, did you know ?). 3. Alan Weeks (tended to commentate on kinda girly sports like ice skating, but had a nice relaxed delivery) 4. Kent Walton (tended to commentata on kinda girly sports like wrassling, but was right enthusiastic) 5. Harry Carpenter (still the voice of boxing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there no some bint on the pitch in 1987 after we'd won the Cup, talking to the winning Buddies? Whatever became of her? Bet she's vanished off the face of the sporting earth... Alan Green is good and honest about some of the shite fitba he gets paid to watch and report on r5live. I enjoy the odd snatches I hear, of him doing engerland games.

Take note walker et al Yup Stephen Roche , also did the Irish proud and showed the continentals how to handle "Their sport". Its a pity that our own Robert Miller never quite made it and has now gone ....well ...kinda .,.well ..funny As for David Millar , maybe he could teach Dargo something about hypodermics.............

Big Fras Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 James Hunt - effortless. Usually under the influence of something, and infamously acted as co-commentator on a Grand Prix whilst lying on the floor of the commentary box Peter Alliss - non-PC ramblings tend to be better once he's done his afternoon "sponsor tent" PAs. On seeing a Jap tourist on screen, he added "Amazing what you see when you don't have a gun in your hand" David Francie - Colin Stein rounds the keeper whilst playing for Scotland....."and he's f*cking missed it !" Arthur Montford - the jackets; the blind optimism ("Argentina here we come !"); and the economy of words: "MacDougall - a bit of a stramash...chance in front...Somner...goal !" The greatest of them all..... Sid Waddell - "Jockey Wilson . . . What an athlete" "It's the nearest thing to public execution this side of Saudi Arabia" "John Lowe is striding out like Alexander the Great conquering the Persians" "When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer..... Bristow's only 27." “Big Cliff Lazarenko's idea of exercise is sitting in a room with the windows open taking the lid off something cool and fizzy.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
