Many of us will recall the pre-internet and pre-Ceefax days, we had to follow the progress of matches on the radio. In Ireland, we had a superb radio commentator on our national broadcaster called Philip Greene. He was an unapologetic Shamrock Rovers supporter.
He was commentating on a match between Rovers and their arch rivals Bohemians, when he uttered "Oh f**k, Bohs have scored!"
Another memorable quote of his was from a European match between Rovers and Valencia. "The embattled Hoops are strapped to the mast, as waves and waves of Spaniards roll over them."

"Suddenly Ali looks very tired indeed, in fact Ali, at times now, looks as though he can barely lift his arms up... Oh he's got him with a right hand! He's got him! Oh you can't believe it, and he's doing his shuffle. And I don't think Foreman's going to get up. He's trying to beat the count. And he's out! OH MY GOD he's won the title back at 32! "
Thomas charging through the midfield, THOMAS , it’s up for grabs now !!!!!!!
The late great Brian Moore , Liverpool vs Arsenal , 1989 , I’ve never leapt out of my seat being a neutral supporter but I did that night

I was listening to the game on a dodgy little transistor radio standing on the platform at York station.I was sharing the radio with an arsenal fan I worked with,and we both ended up dancing around the platform like laurel and hardy in Way out west. When I got home and saw that muppet mcmahon winding everyone up with his 1 minute signal,I enjoyed it even more.

Late great Peter Alliss at The Open somewhere in Scotland in the days when portable tvs were the thing. Bloke was watching on his telly with his back to the camera.
Alliss: "Oh, getting a bit thin up top, sir"
To which the bloke then turns around searching for the camera hiding his bald patch.

Hilarious
I always liked his comments during the Jean Van de velde breakdown at the Open way back when.Especially when he started taking his shoes and socks off to play his next duff shot from the water hazard. He should’ve done the commentary on the video golf games instead of the clowns they used instead.
