Listening to those guys was like being at the match. You knew from the commentary exactly where the play was.
There is a commentator on talksport who is very good, can't remember his name but he is the best there is imo, Matterface is decent as well especially when he hasn't got the utter cock that is Stan Collymore next to him.
Used to think Danny Mills was allright when he first turned up on MOTD2, whoops!

Yes, it'll be interesting to hear the last hand-over between him and Green. They barely talk to each other off air.
Absolutely. It started even before kick-off when they gave the line-ups, which were always given from right to left for each part of the team (nobody bothers to stick to that now), and went on from there.
I wonder if you're thinking of Jim Proudfoot. He was the first to really shout and scream on there and it was cringemaking. He then left, but they've brought him and other old stagers back for the WC as they needed too many to cope otherwise, and now he seems like the voice of reason itself compared with the bunch of hollering yobboes who regularly commentate for them.
The best commentator on that station, IMO at any rate, is Andrew McKenna but he's more of a summariser and hardly ever does actual commentaries. They gave him the Lions rugby series in Australia and he was superb. Now he's commentating at the World Cup and doing well there too.
Danny Mills was decent when he started out IMO, but his hypocrisy over the Suarez business has turned me right off him
I'll see all of your shit commentators, and I'll raise you a Tommy Smyth.
I win.
I win.
Don't think its him but not totally sure, apart from a few 15/20 minute blasts i haven't listened to the station since we lost to Chelsea, couldn't bare listening to the bullshit and haven't really been back since.
He done the Madrid/Barca 4-3 game towards the end of last season, will try and find out his name later.
Slightly off topic but I heard this a few weeks ago and it made me chuckle..................it's a very early radio commentary from the 1920's and in the background the commentator's assistant is calling out numbers which represent areas on the pitch to let the listener know where the ball is! The pitch grid was printed regularly in the Radio Times.

Alan Green hands to Mike Ingham: "The end is near. He's been a wonderful colleague. He'll be forever a great friend. I'll miss you Mike."
I've never heard that they didn't get on.
Fitting that Mike Ingham should describe the winning goal in his last commentary. Classy guy.
It was pretty rare even for them to fly together for foreign games. Green is always sulking about something or other.
No, I didn't realise that either.
I always got the impression that Barry Davies and John Motson hated each other. Or that everyone just hated Barry Davies.
Davies and Motson got on okay, they just had absolutely nothing in common apart from football. Green even rows with Graham Taylor, who is the only one who'll tell him not to be so stupid.
