John Motson retires - leave your tributes here

or not.

Couldn't stand the insufferable giddy old bastard.

Sheepskin wearing @#%&!!

I thought he retired years ago?

heard him pronounce cajones phonetically the other week.

One dumb son of a bitch.

RIP.

£#%&! him.

Feeling the love here, lads

Thanks for the memories etc

Salford 's finest along with Kenneth Wolstenholme

Must be something in the water in Walkden

“I’ve dug up some obscure statistic for this game centered around a meeting between these two sides in the second round of the pre-season Esso Cup in 1973”

Well done John, meanwhile Mrs Motson is being rattled senseless by the milkman, window cleaner and Richard Keys.

loved him as "the equaliser"

I quite liked him overall. Narrated United’s best video and did some good fa cup semi final and final commentary on united in the 70s and 80s.

Favourite 'Motty' moment was that time he interviewed Cloughie. What a manager he was. Great words from around 3.10:

Nobody will notice.

Roy Keane had just been sent off for the third time in 14 matches. Motson asks: "I appreciate that you keep your disciplinary action inside the club, but is the Roy Keane situation one you will have to address?"

Ferguson replies: "John, you have no right to ask that question. You are out of order.

"You know fine well my ruling on that, right? That's the interview finished."

Ferguson then addresses Motson in increasing fury. "I'm no' wanting that on," he says. "I want to cancel that interview right? The whole £#%&!ing lot of it. Cancel it.

"You know the £#%&!ing score, son, so £#%&!ing make sure that it doesn't go out or you'll never get in this £#%&!ing club again. You're £#%&!ing not getting in again."

Motson: "Well, I was asked to ask you, Alex."

Ferguson: "You £#%&!ing know the rules here."

Absolute ABU @#%&!

When hundreds of parka wearing Hereford fans invaded the pitch after their winner against Newcastle in the cup in 1973 Motson said it was good natured crowd excitement, but when the red army got a bit excited and dismantled the roof of Norwich’s main stand in 77 he called it disgraceful hooliganism

He can £#%&! off

He reckons that he's a Barnet fan but he's definitely more of an ABU than anything else.

He wasn't fit to lace Gerald Sinstadt's boots for me.
