John Motson quotes: Five great moments from iconic BBC Sport commentator - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/41163874
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.
Voice of an era. I’ve worked around commentators most of my career and trust me, it isn’t just someone talking incessantly. There’s a lot more to it then that.
But to make it look effortless is just a natural gift. Motty had it in spades. A supreme guy.
