Some crackers there boys.

What about Agnew on the cricket when Botham stumbles and clips his bails with his pad ' he couldnt quite get his leg over'

OR

Bjorn Lillelien when Norway beat England....

Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana! Maggie Thatcher - can you hear me, Maggie Thatcher! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!

Thats got to be one of the best spontaneous rants ever.

beauty that Norwegian one Eths.

Ritchie Benaud was one of my favourite commentators growing up, so laid back, quite witty and never over the top. " Glen McGrath dismissed for 2 just 98 runs short of his century"

Can't recall a Sid Waddell lipstick one Eths.

The only lipstick one that comes to mind is, "You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig"

[EthelRed]

It could have been that one SB, my memory is hopeless.

On the subject of memories I stumbled across goals on Sunday on the web. Had the commentary from Keith Macklin. Remember him? followed by John Helm. Keiths voice reminds me of the early seventies and the old oakwell.

John Helm's commentary on the classic 4-2 win at Millmoor is one of my all time favourites.
