Marky. 6,923 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 With all the chat about how great Ally McCoist and Jon Champion have been at this years World Cup, reminded me of how good Champion is compared to the likes of Clive Tyldesle. Love the legendary Archie MacPherson with his classic style. The voice of so many great memories and moments, but my all time favourite is Peter Drury. Drury’s intelligence with his lines made him a standout for me. He has added so many cracking, intelligent words to some classic football moments. Oh, and any reason to post this... Who are your favourites? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Peter Drury and Jim Beglin were an amazing team. Got to be big Motty for me. Guy just oozed passion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst cunts are Pearce and Tyldesley Pearce’s style is so different though. It makes for a different sound to the game. His commentary for our Borrussia Dortmund goal was perfection. It was like he couldn’t quite catch his breath which was the exact reaction that was required for a goal of such beauty. It’s just when he’s a little condescending or sarcastic that he becomes a bit of a pain. I’ve always been interested in commentary. Would have loved if I had the voice for it. I feel like the voiceover for a game really can influence the quality of the viewers experience. Guys like Drury just make it feel like everything matters. Every goal feels huge with him.

Arrowtown Pie 133 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Tough call but reckon Peter Jones and Jimmy Armfield. Alan Green too, if only for his refusal to toe the BBC line and call games ' woeful' if he thought they were. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The late Brian Moore was class , great memories of him commentating on our 92/93 Champions League run . Even Big Ron as his sidekick was bearable due to Moore's ability . Zappa6995 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
