Poll - Best Sporting Commentator Ever?
 

After reading Bangleman's posting re the sad death of Reg Gutteridge, I thought - well, who do we consider to be the best sporting commentator ever?

These are the ones I thought of, off the top of my head and have tried to cover most sports I used to watch on the telly back home.

John Motson
Barry Davies
Martin Tyler
Brian Moore
Harry Carpenter
Reg Gutteridge
Bill McLaren
Ray French
Eddie Waring
Murray Walker
Peter O'Sullivan

Lol, how hopeless were they both!

Re: Poll - Best Sporting Commentator Ever?
 

I think 'Whispering' Ted Lowe (snooker) deserves a gig on this poll too. And Peter Alliss (golf). And Richie Benaud of course.

A poll can only go to 15 options, if I try to include all the latest additions, we will exceed the max no of options!

Perhaps I should just delete it.

Or have a poll of polls and do one sport at a time and then put the winner from each category into the 'final'.

fKinnel, I do like making work for myself don't I....

Good call, I always like Gary Imlach, I know he is more of an anchorman but knows his cycling and used to do a good job on the American Footy on Channel 4...

It should be mandatory that all polls carry a 'who gives a flying...' button.
Moderators?

Sky, you are having a Murray-style off day.

Eddie Butler?? He's a clown..............

Miles Harrison and Stuart Barnes on Sky are outstanding.

And I'm voting for Barry Davies, who always told it how it was..... it was like listening to a (knowledgeable) mate in the pub.
