Just in case some of you don't know him....well shame on you
Heres just 1 clip of his majestic commentary on probably the greatest try ever scored
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwCbG4I0QyA
Cliff Morgan was firstly 1 of the greatest rugby players of all time
He was majestic for Wales, but also for the British Lions and captained the lions to win a test in south Africa when he scored the winning try too
as a player he was a genius
BUT theres a lot more
He then became the head of BBC broadcasting, he is the man who started Grandstand, question of sport in which he also starred, he covered all major british sports programmes as head of broadcasting too
BUT theres more
He was the sole man in charge of other massive tv events including the royal wedding of Charles and Diana
But theres more
He also became the best rugby commentator of all time and for anyone who loves sport, who loves wordsmiths and the poetry of a great occasion, then Id suggest you enjoy this
He formed choirs, he played the trumpet and piano to professional degree....not bad for a poor lad from the rhondda valleys who was sent down the coal pit in his teens and had a stroke at age 42.
He taught des lynam and many more all the he knew, he was beloved, admired and respected by everyone and the most modest man ever.
Id strongly suggest you try BBC Wales tonight for his life tribute 10.40pm
Thank you Cliff you were a gentleman and a scholar
