GLTTL though.

Very true HC. He did go down hill a bit with age (don't we all) and blame the odd official for "changing his mind" when Motty himself had misinterpreted or not seen the ref's clear and obvious signal. However, he was no worse at that than many other commentators.

Having met him some years ago, I have to say that he had a genuine love for the game and was (is) a true gentleman.
