I think he is one of the worst commentators around in any sport. But wish him a good and quick recovery as he is very young still to be having heart attacks.
The worst pundit/analyser in any sport by a country mile is Garth CrooksQuote:

Never liked the bloke years ago, remember him acting up in the Bank pub on st Mary street and getting chinned by one of the Fairwater lads, but he's changed a lot in recent years, he spoke of the sexual abuse he suffered as a youngster, and that takes a lot of guts, and as a commentator, I agree with TH63, he's good at it now fair play, tells it as it is.
Hope he recovers. Rubbish commentator though, and keeps having digs at football.Quote:
