Badger Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 I'm not old enough to remember him playing, but his face and voice were certainly a part of my youth watching sport on the box. Always seemed a gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets B Avenue Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 He was called in to commentate on the classic Barbarians v all Blacks match in 1973 as Bill McLaren had been taken ill. I know the words of "the try" off by heart. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/23878649 Sport on 4 (Radio 4) on Saturday mornings in the 70s and 80s was compulsory listening. He was also one of the original captains on Question of Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
