"It's hit low and hard; it's over the bar!" - the 'legendary' George Andrews commentating on a Fail game. If I remember rightly, there was a quote of it in a copy of an Oatcake *anorak alert*There are a lot of others, but that one always sticks in my mind for some reason! Another one of Crooks' memorable moments was when he went up to Sven following England's 0-0 draw with Nigeria in the 2002 World Cup and he said " I can confirm that England have progressed..." Hahah!! that Garth Crooks one was classic!!.. me and my mates started to use 'I can confirm' when stating the bleeding obvious.. "Its 10pm and I can confirm its dark outside" "I can confirm its your round"

Another from the late Johnners - "just couldn't quite get his leg over". When Botham fell over his stumps (1991, against West Indies). Good one. What made that even funnier was Johnners cracking up when he'd realised what was said.

I read this every week news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/7300680.stmSome of this weeks "...in front of 70,000 Mancunians. Well, some of them are." David Pleat, Man Utd v Lyon, confirming what we all already knew. "I haven't seen so many grown men hugging and kissing since I watched Brokeback Mountain with the missus." Tom Ross on Birmingham's BRMB radio, as Portsmouth did some team bonding at half-time in the game with Aston Villa. "I'd rather sit on a porcupine watching Dot Cotton lap dance while listening to a double album of S Club 7's Greatest Hits recorded on the bagpipes than sit through a match like Scotland-England ever again." Robbo column on BBC. "I think Hawkeye must have had a late night!" Sir Ian Botham "Rafa Benitez is taking pity on Newcastle - he's bringing on Dirk Kuyt." Matt Le Tissier commentating on Liverpool v Newcastle
