Thought I'd chuck this one out there.
I'm bit old school, remember loving the Coleman footy commentaries...ONE NIL . Also liked Huw Johns/footy.
Fckn couldn't stand Brian Moore.
As for other sports....Ian Dark/boxing....Peter Allis/golf
Bumble/Benaud...cricket. .

Harry Carpenter for boxing. Nice guy and very knowledgeable.

Used to enjoy Richie Benaud, Jim Laker and Joh Arlott on tv cricket. Brian Johnston and Henry Blowfeld on the radio.

Bill Maclaran was supreme in rugby.

Football.... there is only one Idwal Roblin!!

No one mentioned John Arlott yet (edit - I thought but I missed a lot of posts). Whoops.

Lost it in his later days, I believe, but still a great, of the genre.

Edit (not serious) 2 - David Vine. Never skied but commented on skiing like a natural.

Football - Barry Davies was in my opinion the best football commentator while Tony Gubba gets an honourable mention in dispatches.

Rugby- Bill McLaren was the best commentator by a country mile.

Cricket, enjoyed Test Match Special and would agree with others that Richie Benaud was the best.

While a journalist and not a commentator, Hugh Mcilvanney was one of the great voices in sport..

Back to the days of TMS on Radio 3 and later , Radio 4 long wave the most knowledgable commentator then , and easiest to listen to was Christopher Martin Jenkins .
Somehow Henry Bloefeld had to be listened too just for his eccentricity .
Phil Tufnell never takes himself too seriously either .

Murray Walker for having such raw unbridled passion for what is undoubtedly one of the most boring sports in the world.


I once stood next to Murray at Silverstone while he was doing a piece to camera...something weird about hearing a commentator’s voice coming from an actual person.
