Waddel was the absolute best ever - dearly missed. One i always remember of his; "Priestly now, with eyes like his wife's boiled cabbages"

Waddel delivered the greatest ever line of sports commentary.

"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer … Bristow's only 27!!"

A personal favourite of mine

“Perfection in equine form, a horse of a lifetime” as Sea The Stars powers home to win the Arc l.

Was true as well. Perfection.
The documentary with John Ox and Mick Kinane on YouTube is worth a watch.
Mick Kinane was due to retire until he sat on Sea the Stars.
He said when the horse box opened on the day he arrived the horse walked out they both thought wow, this could be special.
I loved his Guineas win, slow away and stayed on superbly.

Also ,and I can't remember the exact words, but Murray Walker saying he had to stop talking because he had a lump in his throat after Damon Hill, Walker's long time favourite, had won the Japanese Grand Prix and with it the World Chamionship.
