    Am I right in thinking he was a Watford supporter?

    John Motson was a great commentator, and a loyal friend to GT. He gave a very moving speech at the great man's funeral. Rest in peace Motty. <rose>

    You are right BB. He often appeared at our home games after he retired. I hope the club acknowledge him at our next game at the Vic.

    He certainly attended games and close to the club particularly through GT as OFH says .

    Luton have been charged with failing to control their players in their match against Burnley. :)

    I believe his last commentary was a Watford game in the Prem

    You could follow a game he was commentating on unlike the crap we have to endure on Sky Sports with a retired footballer giving expert opinion on wether it was raining or not

    John Motson. Brian Moore and the rest of the old timers will be looking down at the Premier League and asking where did it all go wrong

    So the government wants to set up this new body to "protect the cultural heritage" of the game.
    If Dorries was an example of how to protect anything she went near, I would suggest that fans request this bunch of idiots to leave well alone.

    At least the half time alcohol intake would be safe...

    Presume they will have to appoint someone independently as the Tories might not be in power for too much longer .

    Suspect this is a bit of a soap to say they will do something but nothing meaningful happens .

    Looks like a long trip back for Newcastle.

    Man U ones with a short one in celebration.

    Two former Watford managers come face to face in the FA Cup. The speed we go through them, it could become a regular occurrence. <doh>
