Awful sad, great loss, top player, top commentator.

I know a lot of people didn't like him commentating on rugby games, but I thought he was great, especially when he was with Brian Moore.

R.I.P Eddie.

Fantastic eloquent and pretty blunt .A man who will be missed badly. Commentaries won’t ever become same

His duo with Brian Moore was awesome

Down arrowed in error - please accept my apologies.

A great player and a great commentator, another one taken too early. RIP.

Eddie Butler tried to keep Brian Moore in check, Eddie Butler was a professional, Brian Moore was an England fan, huge difference in standard, Eddie suited the Beeb.

Few are irreplaceable but his wit,knowledge and acerbic analysis will mean it will be close.
Thanks Edward

I’m old enough to have just caught the end of Bill McClaren’s career but it’s Eddie and Brian Moore who are ‘my’ commentators.

Incredibly sad.

It’s weird the way some deaths seem to catch you. The last time I felt like this was when Seve died.

Found this, his last Wales cap, Australia completing the 1984 grand slam... 6.30 in, it wasn't Perkins that gave the interception try, it was Eddie, I was in the East Terrace. He carried the can but we were well beaten. David Bishops only Welsh cap that day too.

No idea he was unwell. He only recorded a tribute the the queen this week (or at least it was only aired this week)

Him and jiffy were a great double act.

Maybe Tampie should read Brian Moore's autobiography and then reflect on yet another sly dig at an English person,even on this thread. You can't get lower than that.
Ive met Brian Moore and he is exactly the same in real life as on the box;not exactly easy but a terrific speaker and very clever fella. Brian wears his heart on his sleeve and is aproiud Englishman who,like many others in the game,will be moaning Eddie B.

No dig, just praise for Eddie, Eddie was the professional, Brian was the fan.

Watch the reply Brian, watch the replay BRIAN.

A Welsh legend...intelligent, balanced, smart...everything a thinking Welshman should be. He always was a standard bearer for reason and liberal thinking. Will be missed...really missed..

BBC network hands over to the commentary team for this particular game to Brian Moore and Eddie Butler .

Butler responds with Butler and Moore , sounds like a dodgy pair of solicitors . RIP .

Not often I say this but Trampie was on point here. It was a great double act with BM the over enthusiastic English supporter seeing it through white tinted glasses and EB, the consummate professional setting the litmus paper back to ph zero.

A sad and shocking bit of news. RIP EB.

Watched it, it was beautifully put together, Brian Moore fighting back the tears did well to hold it together sad times.

RIP Eddie Butler
