Never mind Wikipedia , on football facts he was Mottipedia. Incredible passion for the game. Wonder if they’ll dress him in his sheepskin .

Motty was great for years, he was terrible for a few years before his retirement, because of lots of mistakes, but he was still an icon . . . . this is his best commentary moment for me (if I could only remember who the goal (one of the best F.A. Cup goals ever) was against)

RIP Motty. Iconic commentator for me growing up.

An absolute legend. My first experiences of watching football on TV were mainly with Motty. Remember him most for Spurs v City Cup final 1981 when Ricky Villa scored that goal in the replay. RIP.
