"and the ball's laid back for brightwell to hit it, ohhhh what a great goal from brightwell. a tremendous goal from the youngster, who's only playing because peter reid is suspended. an absolute belter. laid back to him, left footed, all the way. like an arrow into the top corner, a beauty. and now the city fans can celebrate. he hit that with total conviction."

i've just recited that from the memory bank. i'll pick the lad up from school and then post the goal from youtube and see how accurate i am.

forgot the 1-1 bit and got a couple of lines jumbled up but fucking hell, i'm good.

I was in the Stretford paddock then with around a hundred other blues who had infiltrated enemy lines.

Martin Tyler City v QPR just before Dzeko scores

"You have to say that if Manchester City come back from this, it will never be bettered"

In the build up to the Aguero goal

"Manchester City are still alive here, De Jong striding forward lays it into Balotelli, Balotelli - Agueeeerrrrrrrrrrooooo"

After Aguero scores

"I swear you'll never seen anything like this again. So watch it, drink it in"

Nearly but no mention of De Jong in the build up

Ah bastard, so close. Still fucking quality though

I love it when commentators get over-excited. it sums up what's brilliant about sport.

There was a good one when England won the rugby world cup.

"Wilkinson kicks for world cup glory"...

My City favourite has always been Andy Buckly from GMR when Dickov scores. His voice actually cracks with emotion, you can hear crying in his voice. And it has the lovely backdrop of David White going totally ballistic in the background.

I heard that Cheeseman knocked the mic out when Aguero scored, thus losing his place in City immortality forever. I bet he was devastated.

Just now on ITV: Greece 2 nil down. "6 minutes played and the Greeks are facing the prospect of deficit reduction"! Not sure who the commentator is

Now we get 'Greeks and some bouncing Czech's'.
I would love to insert his 'Bumper Book Of Sporting Cliches' so far up his starfish that he could cough it up.
I reckon we may get 'Acropolis Now' if the Czech's score again.
Or maybe 'Ouzo wanker in the black' if Greece are denied a penalty.

"Striker!"
"He's got a foot like a traction engine"
"Shit! Did you see that?"
