i liked peter o'sullevan but thought he stayed too long, some appalling calls in his later years. brilliant in his prime.

mm has Peter O'Sullivan spot on too. Aussie Jim McGrath is about as much use at calling a race as Stevie Wonder.

may not be the same one then. there is one commentator that does football on 5 live on saturdays, never the big game, but like a blackburn or fulham one, and he uses totally rediculous langiage. and everything is a metaphor etc. usually evry good to hear his summary of the match

hOWDI IS SPOT ON WITH pETER jONES.
sORRY !! Having had Bill McLaren brought to mind with his sad demise, Iit takes me back to watch the 5 Nations with my Dad and Grandad in the "back kitchen" of my Grandads house on his black and white Rediffusion cable TV. His mastery of language ( McLarens , not my Grandads) stays with me now. I caould/can almost taste /smell the atmosphere he made. Wonderful voice, knowledgeable man, and seems like a good fella too. |

I thought Peter Jones was a terrible commentator. "And Smith will play it to Bloggs. And Bloggs will play it to Davis".
"Will"? They have done, you twunt. When it comes to football, John Murray is a very good commentator and a good bloke, too. Rob Hawthorne, Jon Champion and Guy Mowbray are very good TV commentators. On cricket, Hussain and Atherton are excellent. Benaud has gone at the game, but he was the best. And like robdylan, I was upset when I heard that Brian Johnston had died. |
|
By:
Peter Bromley was a vocie synonymous with racing on the radio.
Must disagree with last posters comments about Peter Jones. It was a voice and style of his time. |
|
By:
I liked Bryon Butler back then. And Mike Ingham (obviously a few years younger than Jones) was/is also good. I just didn't like Jones.
|

By:
Peter Jones is my favourite, an educated man and a wonderful wordsmith. Died 20 years ago this April.
Makes most of the people who try and commentate on football today sound utterly inept. I do like John Murray though. |
