Gerald Sinstadt - RIP

I have only just seen this news. He was one of an era of sports commentators that did the job so well. I have great memories of his voice on tv, particularly olympics oddly. He was one of those commentators who never spoiled the game with chatter, he just called the game. I often think the modern day commentator tries to hard to be a tv personality and it spoils it.

RIP Gerald.

 

Spot on FT.

He was superb, and many who followed him spoke very highly of him indeed.

 

One of the voices of football from my youth (nearly said childhood, but as I still haven't left it...)

Rest in Peace

 

Seen that earlier. A voice from my football childhood, no doubt about, a great commentator. RIP

 

I can't hear his name without also hearing the Sportsnight theme.

 

I think he was the commentator for the Man City away game in the FA cup run in 1973. Loved every minute of those two games against City.....RIP sir.

 

Rip

 

RIP Gerald
