His style is unique and undoubtedly dated.
To describe him as a “dreadful commentator” shows a lack of respect and an understanding of what the guy has achieved.
Really? He gets players names wrong, he doesn't describe the game, he tries to be funny "Breakfast with Beckham". His commentary of the game is barely technical, "ohhh, did you see that?" He is shit, and only a public broadcaster like the BBC would have kept him on all that time. Am I showing a lack of respect? Of course I am, since when should I be respectful to an overpaid bloke who is crap at his job? The guy has achieved a lot, and most of that is down to the incompetent recruitment of the BBC.
