John 'Motty' Motson down

found him quite an irritating commentator tbf. Always felt his bumper book of not very interesting facts rather got in the way of him actually commentating on the game.

Bye

Always preferred Barry Davies tbh.

Amirite?

Couldn't stand him.

Brian Moore still the best dead commentator around.

Was good

I thought Motson was good value, he was a real football man. He liked his ale, I hope that wasnt his downfall

Had to ring him once and said

"Is that John Motson"

course it bloody was.

Iconic.

Sad to hear that.

Happy memories of FA Cup Final days as a kid.

RIP Motty and his sheepskin.

they think it’s all over

it is now

Never cared much for him back in the day. He was such an anorak that he always seemed slightly ridiculous to me then. Less so now.

He never said anything about United or a United game that ever annoyed me, or struck me as harsh or unfair. That's saying something, considering how many games he commentated on.

He just seemed to love football and wanted both teams to play well. Deserves his place in the history of English football, MIO. Glad he lived to be old and went in his sleep.

and I delivered his paper - Daily Telegraph

Was he a good crimbo tipper? I bet he was.

Did he meet you at the door with his mic?

‘And here coming up the path is young redders, a recent signing by the local papershop, shows lots of early promise on his round’

fair.

a bit of a harold and hilda sweater of a commentator, but harmless enough.

do not want mateyness, women or jonathan pearce squeaks. easy enough to ignore motty.

Wolstenhome for me.

Only stat he gave you was where or who the £#%&!ing ball was with
