ericofarabia Posted 24 January, 2010 Share Posted 24 January, 2010 Good old Stuart Hall ... his match reports were legendary ....using colourful descriptive expressions he'd spend two minutes describing the weather, how green the grass was, the contrasting colours of the teams shirts, how big the strapping centre half was, how quick the outside right was and about 10 seconds on what had happened in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintbletch Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 He was 80 on Christmas day last year. And still going strong on BBC 5 live. He's a legend and the only sports presenter likely/able to bring ancient Egypt history and poems by Shelley into their commentaries. My name is Ozymandias king of kings.... He is still on 5-Live although he did nearly get thrown off (See the Stuart Hall Incident) for an outburst against Robert Mugabe on the sports quiz Fighting Talk... Fighting Talk made national news with an episode broadcast on 12 March 2005. The panel consisted of Danny Kelly, Will Buckley, John Rawling and Stuart Hall. The presenter, Christian O'Connell, asked the panel "What other former all-conquering nations, clubs or individuals would you like to see have a renaissance?". Stuart Hall responded "Zimbabwe", and criticised what Robert Mugabe had done to the country, saying "...don your flannels, black up, play leather on willow with Mugabe cast as a witch doctor. Imagine him out at Lords casting a curse; tincture of bat's tongues, gorilla's gonads, tiger's testicles...". During the same show, Hall was also asked for his opinion on sporting stars acting as role models for young people. In his response, he defended swearing by footballers suggesting that "...you can go to any school playground and learn all you want to know about oral and anal sex". Legend.

hypochondriac Posted 23 August, 2021 Share Posted 23 August, 2021 When I saw Dr Who was back I thought that was quite a pleasant thing to have an old poster back after a long period. I'm regretting that decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
