I will never accept a description other than the center cirtle. As far as I'm concerned, that's what it is. Love the guy. Far as I'm concerned, he's put in enough years that he is entitled to pronounce things the way he sees it. Who the f*ck cares if he mispronounced names? I really enjoyed that - hell even this year, we'd have never had Sir William of Smallpiece if it wasn't for Nige. This guy will be missed dearly by this no good Yank. Can't imagine how much you locals who have had all the years with him will miss him! We had a similar phenomenon here in the US with a man named Harry Carey. You just don't know what you have until it's gone. He's a treasure to be enjoyed up til the last minute. As far as I'm concerned, he gave his all to try to describe the action to listeners. Thank you Nigel! I've been to wrigly field Chicago cubs, about 20 years ago. Didn't they have a simular sort of hopeless long running never won anything record thar we had at the time? Don’t know if it’s still there but Harry had a bar right close to the stadium. Cracking bar.

I assume Nigel is the one in the middle?. Don't you recognise him off the radio?

“Foul on Powell” is one of his favs, never uses a different way of saying it, the rhyme is too tempting. And of late, "Laurent has a penchant" [for that kind of pass]

Nige praising Crewe for so far managing to hold Leyton Orient to 0-0, despite them having actually been behind for the past half hour and currently 2-0 down.
As ever, no one on Radio Stoke can be arsed to correct him.

I reckon the club will do something for him pitch side as well

Is anyone actually taking over from Nige - or is it going to be an opportunity to cut costs and cover games without without him?

You would hope that young Roger will have had a few words and arranged some TV coverage down in the midlands. Can’t be many media folk who have achieved this length of service !

I think it'll be Ange who's already taken over doing some of his workload. Hopefully they get someone else doing the actual commentary. Ange is decent as an input like what she does now but not sure about the full commentary.On the other hand she might be great at it as we havn't heard her all the way through yet. Don't think the guy who does it with Ange now is to bad, not sure of his name though.

I won’t miss Mike Pejic ex Everton, Aston Villa and of course he played for England.
In a funny way I’ll miss his commentary as given the crap on offer it’s more amusing trying to figure out what he’s on about

I caught one of his 'top 10 Stoke memories' on Radio Stoke earlier this week when driving through -are they altogether anywhere in one place on catch up?
By Jingo?
