John Motson

Like many others on SF, if you watch football,  you have grown  up with " motty", so today to learn of his passing  was a sad moment. 

Classic old school and nothing flashy. Well liked everywhere. Sad news 

what a wonderful bloke and football legend ..The quotes are endless , that crazy gang, culture club line was a classic line delivered exquisitively ...I think I lovedhis gaffes even more and there were tons of them too lol but all in good spirits..Motty Made the world a better brighter place with his insatiable passion for football and all its glorious intricacies....The ultimate football anorak but wearing a sheepskin coat
