Plenty out there but the mods are reviewing my post, possibly due to the surname of a current Scottish actor....
Man alive
(head in hands)
Brian - 1740 Kempton
I believe to be a real trier and is overpriced and an each way play.
Be lucky

For what it's worth I added in and amongst the current Scottish actor...May, Wilson, Blessed, Lara, Clough, Epstein.....no doubt many more
Should anyone attempt to add and East 17 member I will demand a donation to charity 
That could be classed as an awful selection or a strange ride alligned with the drift.
Either way I was wrong and it ran poorly.

It is. 10 out of 10 and a gold star for observation.
Ref - Holding/Willey
The alleged commentary by Brian Johnston is actually "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey". Alas this is almost certainly an urban myth as there is no recording to support it and nobody else heard him say it.
He did make a few other amusing gaffes though, including "There's Neil Harvey standing at leg slip with his legs wide apart, waiting for a tickle"

I’m sure you’ll be right Dixie being a mature fan, no offence intended. It just seems like we’ve seen it. I bought and read his book too and I’m sure it was mentioned in there. Was a cricketer not out by legging the wicket and he called it something like “how did he get his leg over there”. Myth or otherwise it is a great tale.

Briain Johnston didnt say he didnt say the Holding/Willey quote. He just said he couldnt remember saying it. On here is the Johnston/Aggers giggling fit re Aggers "couldnt quite get his leg over" comment. Still hilarious.
It was allegedly said by Brian at the Oval test in 1976, i'm sure a recording would be available if it was true and surely some listeners would have remembered it.
Apparently a letter was sent in to TMS about it by a Miss Mainpiece which is how the alleged quote came to light. Her name alone is enough to raise suspicions, sounds like a character from a Carry On film !
In 1991 against the West Indies Ian Botham overbalanced trying to play a shot and broke his own wicket, in the summary of the days play J Agnew stated that "Botham couldn't quite get his leg over" , cue much hilarity and laughter from Brian and aggers.

I remember. Much of the fun of it was their futile efforts to stifle their schoolboy mirth.

Quite possibly bb. He was quite a cove and his compositons require some aural stamina
I know, my dad had a boxed set of the Gothic. We used to use it as a coffee table.
