Which sports commentator do you like to listen to when you're watching the sport or which commentator's voice do you have to reach the mute button immediately when you hear their voice?

 

 

My Favourite Sports Commentator:

 

Murray Walker:

 

 

The Voice of Motor Racing he was.

 

 

 

Not a massive fan of Jonathon Pearce!

 

In terms of co-commentators, didn't like Clare Carlisle.

Sid Waddell. Absolute legend.

 

RIP.

Sid Waddell. Absolute legend.

BUMP

BUMP

 

John Motson aka Motty it would have to be for me. He'll be missed as a commentator.

Peter Alliss for least favourite commentator just droned on:

 

 

 

I cannot stand Peter Drury's commentating on Sky Sports during the massive matches. He raised his voice so high whenever he sniffs a goal and ruins the moment every single time.

 

 

Also his "filler" commentary between action is constantly reaching for moments of relevance and statistics which nobody cares about or asked for.

Murray Walker and James Hunt together was a class pairing. James may have been famous for his vicious criticism but his analysis was second to none too. As much as I like Brundle and am happy he's there, he's not on the same level and his partner, David Croft is a blitering idiot.
