#RIPJohnMotson

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.

#RIPJohnMotson

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.
