For those of us who remember when Radio 2 used to cover sport (before Radio 5 was around), Peter Jones and Bryon Butler were giants in football commentary. Sports Report, 5 o'clock, saturday evening.

The best by a massive distance was Barry Davis, utter class, no bias, no playing to the masses just quality. What we have now is utter rubbish from idiots who think their opinion is of any relevance to others who are there for every reason but football reasons. I think there is now cause for giving people the option of no commentators as they now are mostly an irritation. Same with the studio guests, bar a tiny minority most are an annoyance there to just back their clubs or are there for token reasons. I now never watch pre match, half time or full time analysis as I am sick of the both biased or badly misinformed rubbish that they mostly come out with added to that I will watch it on a foreign station so as not to have to listen to these idiots utter crap which totally spoils the game.

Motson v Davies was the Beatles v Stones or Blur v Oasis battle of the age. Was always Team Barry in our house.
That said, I will always associate Gerald Sinsdadt with City more than any other commentator as he covered our games much more often on ITV’s The Kick Off Match

The man who read the football results on Grandstand. His voice and the Pink final remind me most of football from my childhood.

James Alexander Gordon.

Thanks, never knew his name I bet not many do. But as soon as you hear the voice you think football results.

Well, ppl can't have been listening if they never heard of him. For years, the script was:
"Here are the football results, read by James Alexander Gordon."

Barry Davies at his very best
