John Motson RIP

[odyssey06]

A defining voice of my childhood... a voice that just said 'football'. RIP John.

Some of his quotes that stood out for me...

"I was about to say, before something far more interesting interrupted..."

"It's survival of the fittest now here in the closing minutes."
- as a weary West Ham and Liverpool face FA Cup Final extra time

Also should mention Dickie Davies passed away during the week. Some people might remember him from ITV sports coverage such as World of Sport.
