True legend

Legend RIP

So many memorable moments and it was him commentating

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

Motson covered 10 World Cups, 10 European Championships and 29 FA Cup finals for BBC Sport before retiring from the organisation in 2018.

They must have misread the number

Probably 2,000 not 200

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."
