Robster Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 6 hours ago, Wandy said: Yeah, he was only 26 when commentating on the Hereford game v NUFC in 1972. Had an "old" voice right from the off. Just googled Barry Davies and he is still around, thankfully. You could convincingly say he was the other voice of football alongside Motty but, due to his more relaxed style, probably won't be as easily remembered. Brian Moore was the other voice of football for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 RIP Motty, don’t mind that Radford goal, hell of a strike and we only had ourselves to blame for losing. Seem to remember we went to Man U and won the following week. Didn’t win again there until Cabaye’s goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 This will sound bad but I saw on Twitter last night Blackpool posting a link to a statement with lots of 'RIP Tony' replies and was relieved it wasn't Tony Green. Not sure dad would have been able to handle the news at the minute, not sure he ever will, it'll hit him more than a family member passing away.

Aye, was one of the ones who went to the opposition fans dedicated pub after the match looking for a fight - got punched/kicked (there's a video going around of it that isn't exactly clear) but you see him drop to the ground, looks like he smashed his head off the floor. RIP but look for the bark and you get the bite. Edited March 9, 2023 by FCB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
