If Peter Jones was the daddy of them all, then Raymond Glendenning was the grand-daddy. I think he commentated up to around 1960. A few of us will remember his rather up-market voice; many more of us will never have heard of him.

I am 66 this year - I remember Raymond Glendenning with affection, handlebar moustache and all !

It looks like Motty is coming to the best ground in the country this weekend

Applause on 50 minutes?

A song?

What do you think?

Parrot

I want to hear him saying " that's a double hat trick for Benteke ! Palace go 7 goals up !"

 


Touch my coffee and I will slap you so hard even Google won't be able to find you.

I always preferred Motty to Barry Davies who specialised in sounding bored IMHO. Nice for Motty to go out on a high by finishing at Selhurst

Personally I am a big fan of Jonathan Pearce, even though he's calmed down a lot since joining the Beeb. I like commentators to be fans!

Apart from when he shouted: "Look at his face! Just look at his face!", although many HOLers will be too young to remember this.

I have always found Motson irritating but then I can't stand Martin Tyler either.
I liked Jonathan Pearce back from his Capital Gold days but my favourite was Brian Moore. Old fashioned but likeable. Met him once. Really nice chap.

Legend of the game, let's hope we give him a decent performance to bow out on

He (Brian Moore) was an accomplished commentator AND presenter, or course; both jobs requiring completely different skills.
