    So, after 50 years, John Motson has decided it's time to 'retire' from match day commentaries and this will be his last season
    'He will commentate on 18 games over the course of the Premier League season as part of a 'farewell tour' before a last appearance during the BBC's FA Cup final programme in May 2018.'
    Full story here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41159991

    Edit - I could have put it on the 'General Football' thread, but felt that for such a legend, it was worthy of its own thread

    At last the sheep can sleep easy in their beds and not worry about having to make any more sheepskin coats

    I infinitely prefer his voice and style of delivery to that tool John Murray, who radio 5 use all the time now. Alan Green wasn't everyone's cup of tea but I liked his abrasive style and Irish lilt.
    Meanwhile, in cricket, this last test vs Windies tomorrow will also be the last covered by the
    mighty Blowers. :emoticon-0106-cryin
    Enjoy whatever you do next, my dear old thing <ok>

    If you don't appreciate Motty, just listen to Townsend or Hoddle and you will then.

    Bah!

    Hoddle is frustrating.

    Sometimes he sounds like he knows what he is on about and then he says something completely stupid.
