There's more: Peter West (cricket). "The bowler's Holding - the batsman's Willee."
John Arlott (cricket). "It's Afaq To Knight at the Nursery End."
David Coleman (athletics). "Quantarena of Cuba opens his legs and shows the world his class."
"It's the Russian pole vaulter coming over the satellite" Mexico Olympics

It wasn't Peter West but Brian Johnson who was supposed to have made that comment. There's no record of it and Johnson himself said he didn't know. Henry Blofield said he didn't say it. Johnson's son said he didn't say it. Who knows...great quote though.

John Rice was bowling and the Irishman Andy Murtagh collected the defensive shot.
John Arlott:”That’s a case of Rice bowls and Paddy fields.”

My friend set me up on a blind date and he said, I'd better warn you, she's expecting a baby. I felt like such an idiot sitting in the bar wearing nothing but a nappy..
