erzamacaroonbars Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Very sad to hear of his death! He was in my opinion the best commentator on radio. His crescendo of excitement as the ball reached the half way line would suddenly burst with a " deary, deary me...disaster for Scotland" What a legend!

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Sad to hear. He most certainly was one of the most descriptive of radio commentators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I can remember listening to his live commentaries on Thistle games when I was stuck out in the African savannah a long time ago! That was a very weird experience back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAGZ1876 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Sad to hear of his death, you could turn on the radio at any during a match and he would say the score within seconds, unlike the present day lot, he would also say where the ball was in play, how far from goal etc. yes he will be sadly missed.
