I used to be up and and down like [insert inappropriate remark here lol] ... flicking back and forth between Grandstand and World Of Sport on Saturdays as no remote controls in those days (and we all rented our tele's too)

Dickie Davies was a bit showbizzy. He'd have been better suited introducing Shirley Bassey at the Palladium rather than, say, darts from Sheffield on Saturday afternoon.
Hi Carlos, you okay mate?

Rip Motty - the first voice I associate with football when I was just learning and getting into the game.
His style made every game sound interesting, and his knowledge was second to none. Todays so called commentators could learn a few things.
So close to Dickie Davies passing as well - both legends.
Very sad.
