AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Voice of the the football results for basically my whole life. Beautiful voice, can remember loving the results every Saturday evening with a dodgy tea at my Gran's house. Ranks alongside The Pink and my first visit to SJP as vital football memories. You lived well, thanks for the memories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Such an incredible voice and style of reading the results. Like others have said, his voice brings back so many childhood memories. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Grew up listening to him read the results followed by Bruce Hornsby and the Range whilst Des Lynam went through the league tables. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It's a real childhood thing isn't it? So so distinctive. Have read many a result out loud, copying his voice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 RIP Did he do Soccer Saturday too, or is that a sound-a-like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 My granddad used to sit and watch the results being read out for all the football divisions when I was a kid, even Scottish leagues ffs. Unbearable at the time when I just wanted him to hoy wrestling on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Absolutely gutted. I loved nothing more than hearing the Sports Report theme tune being blared out of my dad's car radio and to then hear him read the scores out. I would always try and second guess the away team score by the way he pronounced the home. R.I.P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 You knew who'd won before the score was announced because of the tone in which he spoke. Much like his BBCTV counterpart Len Martin. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
