I was always a massive fan of Barry Davies. I recently watched a programme about his career, and his research of the sports/fixtures he was covering was immense. He also struck me as the consummate professional and gentleman.

Barry Davies was my favourite-I remember in an interview he said”when commentating if you feel you should say something,don’t”.Now I’m older and deafer I can keep the sound at a level that you get the sound without having to listen to the commentary.As for having a “knowledgeable “sidekick it’s like sitting in front of two guys at the game who will not shut up.

Think that's David Begg, usually did Radio Scotland. Sure he was a hun but a really good commentator.

It is David Begg and he is a massive Aberdeen fan.

Used to love Andy Gray and Martin Tyler. Say what you want about Andy, but his knowledge and way he commented on the game was first class.

Maybe lacking a bit of knowledge about the ability of female linos?

Is Crocker the voice on the 6-2 game???

Alastair Alexander and David Begg were both superb and are sorely missed.

I like Ian Crocker.

The shout for Ally McCoist is a decent one, and tbh I like the whole Bt Sport team. I find Sutton hilarious, Michael Stewart interesting, well-informed and consistent and I don't even mind Craigen as the pantomime baddie. Stubbsy is always good when he's on. I quite liked Derek Rae, and was disappointed when he stopped.

Martin Tyler is the best of the English lot.

Yepp - probably one of the finest commentaries on a Hibs game ever

Alistair Alexander was a favourite of mine on the radio at a time when I would listen to live games a lot more than I do now. The fact he is the voice of the 7-0 derby as well counts in his favour for me. Much preferred it when it was just a commentator rather than having co commentators chipping in - different days.

This.
Hate the inane opinionated banter you often get between pairs these days rather than just straight commentary, Lawro being the worst, greetin'faced erse that he is. More and more want an option on ma telly so you can switch off the commentary but still hear the background crowd/game noise.

Only the flip side of this thread, some of the commentary at this summers World Cup was appalling. Particularly on ITV.
