Are there any of that truly legendary group of sports commentators left?

Aliss, Peter O'Sullevan, Bill McLaren, John Arlott, Dan Maskell. All gone and nobody since has come close.

Amongst those long gone........Larry Mccoubrey.

And today Paolo Rossi, 1982 World cup, Azzuri top scorer. And only 64.
A joy to watch

No, no Merv, not those Windsors. She was actually 375th in line for the throne.

Charlie Pride succumbs to Covid. The Crystal Chandeleir is a bit dimmer today.

Saw him in 2012.

A gentleman, a fine singer and a real old school entertainer.
