That is such sad news. I just hope they bury him with his characteristic sheepskin coat. RIP John, consummate professional
Ffs sickener, 77 not that old really. Along with Brian Moore the greatest football commentator ever. So many memories from him, as another icon from my growing up passes to the other side ! RIP legend
Wow! I’m shocked. A true bastion of commentating. Old school who knew his stuff, was humble and knew how to have a laugh. RIP Mr Motson
Wow - shocked at this. Good old Mottie, man of many gaffes, but boy did he love his football (almost as much as he loved his sheepskin coat). RIP the voice of football
Only just seen that Motson has died. Very sad. Happy for him that he spent his last evening in the pub, watching the game he loved and contributed so much of his passion to; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-64759055
Excellent, unbiased speaker with huge respect from all parts of the House. The exact opposite of the bullying little rat Bercow. RIP
Because he was found to be a serial bully and a liar by an independent enquiry in 2022, and was suspended from the Labour Party and expelled from Parliament for life
