Nearly all the sports presenters/commentators of my youth are gone now: Philip Green, Brian Moore, Harry Carpenter, Kenneth Wolstenholme, Julian Wilson, Richie Benaud, Bill McLaren, Fred Cogley, Michael O’Hehir , Sean Og O'Ceallachain, Mick Dunne, Brendan O’Reilly. Not many left. Perhaps Jimmy Hill, Dickie Davies (of the dodgy moustache) and Gerald Sinstadt.

Fred Cogley is still knocking about as far as I know. Had an interview in the Indo in Feb.
Could add Jimmy Magee to that list I guess; didn't he do some games at the World Cup last year?
