Just heard on the radio .. they said if commentated on 200 games which doesn’t seem many given he was working over 50 years ..

Famous for that John Radford goal for Hereford

They must have misread the number

Probably 2,000 not 200

"Oh dear. Oh dear me. He’s going to be out of the final if England get there. Here is a moment that almost brings tears to his eyes"

On Gazza's booking in the 1990 World cup semi final


"This is getting better and better and better, one, two, three for Michael Owen"

On Michael Owen's hat-trick goal in England's 5-1 win in Germany.


"The Crazy gang have beaten the Culture club"

On Wimbledon beating Liverpool in the 1988 FA cup final

John Motson spent his last night watching football in Little Brickhill pub

Commentator John Motson spent his last night in his local pub watching a
football match and enjoying a pint, the landlords have said.

Mrs Babikian said: "Wednesday evening, the night before he passed, he came into the pub to watch his football match and sat with his mates having a beer and talking us through the game, as he would most evenings.

"He seemed to really enjoy himself."
