YOUR favourite commentators

[Pottertons]

AB-so-luuuuuuuuuuuuuuutely Scint-uh-laaaaaaaaating football by the Lionel Messi.

Ha haaaaaaaaa. Couldn't stand this man @ first, but as I've watched more and more GolTv and La Liga matches, Ray Hudson is great. He kills me.

His enthusiasm can make or break the atmosphere of a match, which is somewhat of a disregarded aspect of the magnitude of the beautiful game.

So, after doing a search I thought it would be nice to find out who your favourite commentators are.

Ray isn't my favourite by the way, but he does do a job. For me, it would be Alan Parry or (can't remember the other lads name) "....Lampard's good from this range, ....he likes it from this range, ........OOOOOOOOOOOOoohhhhhhhhhhhhh! he LOVES it from this range

[masoo]

Just sticking to the ones I can hear with some regularity at the present time:

Spanish-language: Sammy Sadovnik
British: Martin Tyler
U.S. English-language: Ray Hudson

[Rooney08]

There are NO good commentators.

[themaestro]

Basically all of the English Premier League ones, aside from David Pleat are pretty good imo.

I like Paul Breen Turner for La Liga.

I can't remember his name, but the guy who does a lot of the Bundesliga games is really good. (What is his name?) Not the older legend one, but the "younger" one. :D

Hudson (aka.. GolTV fanzone)
Bretos


much kudos for the "on site" Paul Breen Turner

Ian Dark, that's his name. Brilliant commentator.

I've often wondered why they don't get these lads in on the International matches. I mean, no disrespect to the ones who have earned thier stripes, but the likes of Tyler, Gray, Motty and Brooking are a getting a bit on the dull side. Need some punch to the match.

[Pottertons]

Oh, and Peter Drury.

[Ombak]

This guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuhtbonYsdw). No bullshit neutrality when his opponents score. No "gooooool"...

He just said what he felt at that moment.

Skip to 1min to get the part I'm talking about.

[Whoop]

I suppose Eric Wynalda won't be making anyone's shortlist? :p

[AndSomeAreAngels]

Ray Hudson - I too didn't like him at first, but the man has a genuine, sincere love of the game that few others can rival. One of the most passionate, funniest, and enjoyable commentators to listen to.

I also like Martin Tyler and John Champion, who are just class.

There was a game I watched awhile back - the England U21 v. Italy U21 and the commentator was excellent. I think his last name was Proudfoot, but I haven't been able to come up with anything on Google. Anyone know?


Eric Wynalda is easily the worst commentator to step into a booth.

[GutBomb]

Martin Tyler, John Champion, Ian Darke, John Motson, Paul Breen Turner, Rob Stone, Max Bretos, Eric Wynalda, and Dave O'Brien.

[cthomer5000]

Basically all of the English Premier League ones, aside from David Pleat are pretty good imo.

While clicking on the thread title, this was my exact thought. Pleat is so annoying, all the others are great.

[Shen-O]

Martin Tyler for sure.

Its Kanu...what's he going to do...ohhhhhhhhhh

Caaaaaaaaaaan you believe itttttttt!!! He's flatened Chelsea! Is it a hattrick, at Stamford Bridge!!!

Greatest commentary ever.

[ncfcb]

What's the name of the guy who usually does the Argentina matches on FSC? I like him the best. And I DON'T mean Bretos either.

[THEO_THEO_WALCOTT]

The guy that did the u-20 WC games and the Ligue 1 matches on Setanta is brilliant.

Steve Banyard, the name just came to me.

[Merck]

Martin Tyler, Derrick Rae

[OrientFan]

I always liked John Motson, and I have to say ,living in the US I like the 2 regular ESPN commentators who do the champions league games -Tommy Smith-love that thick irish brogue !!
