Who Is Your Favourite Football Commentator Of All Time

With reports suggesting that Mark Lawrenson has been given a 'reduced role' on Match of the Day as BBC shake up their flagship football programme, football fans have named their top ten favourite football commentators and pundits of all time.

Once again those people at confused.com have been doing their football research and following their statistics on the effect on drivers when they listen to football commentary, they reveal just who are the most popular football pundits of all time according to their research


1. John Motson (20%)

2. Gary Lineker (16.%)

3. Brian Moore (9%)

4. Chris Kamara (8.%)

5. Alan Green (8%)

6. Andy Gray (7%)

7. Jimmy Hill (6%)

8. Alan Shearer (6%)

9. Martin Tyler (6%)

10. Robbie Savage (5.%)

So do you agree or disagree with their findings, personally if they had a poll for the most annoying football commentator my vote would be for Andy Townsend who seems to find no irony in the fact that he is now the Worlds leading expert on the England team, despite the fact he preferred to declare himself a "Plastic Paddy" as those who opted for the Republic of Ireland's international side were dubbed back in the 1990's
