Football’s pathetic omertas only serve to benefit those with real power | Marina Hyde

The elastic and corrosive concept of ‘respect’ is rife in football – the one set of people this cosy approach never serves is the fans

Jermain Jenas is up there with the worst pundit of all time. He talks utter muck. Dame Edna Everage could do a better job.

Once saw him in Puerto Banus think it was Ashley Cole's stag do. We were sat on the front watching the world cup final. France v Italy. When the mob walked past... one of them stopped asked me the score and started watching the game.. Jenas walks past with his top off and 'shouts what you watching that [Poor language removed] for'

what a grade A bellend

Agree on Benaud, absolutely one of the all time great commentators!

I'd add Peter O'Sullevan (racing), Henry Longhurst (golf) and Peter Alliss (golf - but he's now gone on about ten years too long!) to your list!

Murray Walker should make the list

'Theres a dead body on the track!!!.. no Murray it's a piece of bodywork'

I'd add Dan Maskell. "Oh and that's a quite remarkable volleh by Virginia there..."
The voice of long summer days when life was sweet.

Martin Tyler breaks me. If it’s a big moment for example Bales overhead kick in the CL final then yes, absolutely go beserk at it. If it’s a Liverpool/Man City/Man United/Ruben Neves player making a pass that’s over 5 yards then no, don’t go absolutely beserk at it.

Barry Davies was good. He was commentating the last time we won the FA Cup.

Ted Lowe, snooker commentator.

Whispering away.

When Thorburn was on for a 147, " Good luck mate ".

Brilliant.

“I’ve never been happier,” said Hoddle, who is the father of three children, and only just escaped death from a massive heart attack.

Hahaha

As he settled on the final black. Tremendous.
