John Motson's last live commentary tomorrow

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

Also he’s one of those “he had every right to go down there” type of commentators, clueless.

I have fond memories of Motson's commentary, but it's probably a nostalgia thing.
Whether he had some kind of personality disorder or not, along with Barry Davies he was synonymous with football on the BBC.
He had a unique style of commentary and doubtless he will have had some influence on others in his field, even if it is how not to do it.

Personally I liked David Coleman's commentary to both Motson and Davies but he also presented his own show "Sportsnight" midweek, which was a higher position again.
