The Voice of Golf. 

Always liked the TV show “A round with Alliss” in the 70s.

Didn’t realise he gave Sean Connery lessons as part of the filming of Goldfinger.

Good guy.

RIP.

I believe that format, with a few tweeks, would work now.

Mr Alliss had the perfect approach, let the celebrities/pros talk while he gently prompted and listened. 

Must have been some age, hope it was a peaceful passing.

RIP.

Ach it is a Saints forum, so I thought I’d chose someone who could probably handle interviewing that had a Saints background.

Don’t think someone like Monty or Faldo would be that interesting.....

Darren Clarke maybe a good shout.

Thompson will forever be a Saints' legend but Monty or Faldo would be akin to Parkinson compared to Thommo. Having watched him front Sportscene I think you'd have to guarantee the interviewee a bucket of   Pro Plus to get them through a round with Stevie.

An above par 89.

Now get in the hole.

Reminds me of the closing stages of a very close Masters a few years back !  Fowler drives down the 18th , spectator shouts "In the hole!"

Alliss says "Oh shut up ! "
