"Now Tudor has gone down for Newcastle". There are few finer sentences in the English language. RIP Motty.
Hereford became very much a part of John Motson, and John Motson became very much a part of Hereford.
He really loved football, a very special commentator.

Sad news that John Motson, THE voice of football has passed. #johnmotson

Sad to hear of the passing of #JohnMotson

A legend of football commentary. He was a little more informal than the other commentary BBC types who preceded him. He was at all the big matches, a relaxed tone, until he got excited, the right words at the right time, the occasional funny faux pas and an iconic sheepskin coat.

Sad to hear that #JohnMotson has died. He was the voice of football for me when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. #RIP.

An #Otwituary for commentator #JohnMotson

I too have stood in the gantry
overlooking theatres of dreams,
theatres of comedy. One voice
brought fire to frosty pitches,
forked the quagmires of glory;
a humble oracle in sheepskin robe.

#JohnMotson was the voice of #football when I followed it. One of the very best there has ever been. Rest in peace #Motty.

One of my favourite #johnmotson quotes - this from a Guardian interview: 1977, Manchester United 2 Liverpool 1. When Martin Buchan, the United captain, was preparing to go up and receive the Cup, I said "isn't it appropriate that a man named Buchan should climb the 39 steps at Wembley to receive the Cup", which recalled John Buchan, the novelist who wrote The Thirty-nine Steps. A lot of people thought I'd scripted that but it was spontaneous.
