Does nobody remember Keith Macklin?😀 [br Macklin covered Yorkshire tv where I live and sucked up to Leeds who were on all the time due to it being their heyday era. He later did a religious programme on, as you would expect, a Sunday.

Motto does sound like a right git. I only remember in a nice way because that was the era I started my love of the game and Motd was one of only a few chances to see any tv football.

Coleman was very authoritarian. Like a headmaster from the 1950s. "Goals pay the rent and Keegan does his shift". I quite liked Coleman - he was the first of the 'dramatic' commentators, unlike the preceding clipped RP type BBC ones who didn't really add much. He did become a bit of a parody of himself eventually though and that Keegan quote doesn't even make sense! Motty was ok but should've given up ten years ago. All ITV commentators are utter shit. I wonder if he got the first part out then couldn't think of a good way to finish it. "Goals pay the rent, and Keegan makes his contribution. Now if he promises to wash the dishes when it's his turn and sprays air freshener when he's dropped his fudge he'll be a much better housemate"

People look at Hugh Johns with nostalgia but at the time people moaned about him. Not with the vicious nastiness of these days but he was regarded as an irritant. I was one of a generation of kids who grew up with Star Soccer on a Sunday afternoon. If I'm ever having a kick about or game of footy now, I still say in my best staccato Hugh Johns voice - "Jimmy Greenhoff! One nothing Stoke Ciddee!" 'Stunning Drive' was one of his cliches. I often wonder if his house had a 'Stunning Drive' (ahem).
