I always remember his line "The first half was even, the second half is even better".

Minter, the undisputed world champion, leaves the ring not a champion. :eek:

Harry Carpenter

This is really a lovely horse, I once rode her mother. :D

Ted Walsh.

Tony has a quick look between his legs and likes what he sees. :D

Stewart Machin on Tony McCoy leading a race.

He's pulling him off. The Spanish manager is pulling his captain off! :D

George "It's There/Danger Here" Hamilton

Anyone remember Philip Greene's masterpiece when commentating on a Shamrock Rovers V Bohemians game when he took to a bit of plane spotting and then roared out "Oh f*ck it's a goal!!"? :eek: :D

Ardilles strokes the ball like it was part of his anatomy. :D

I actually was watching RTE when Walsh said "I rode her mother down the Curragh".
Robert Hall completely lost it, couldn't carry on at all.
They took a break, came back and as soon as Hall tried to speak, he started laughing all over again.
For the rest of the broadcast, they both struggled through, neither man really regained any composure...superb television:D

snooker 1 time some player was going for the blue

"and for those of you watching in black & white, the blue is behind the pink" :D

legendary cricket commentary.

bowler michael holding of west ind bowling to peter willey of eng.the commentator said .......................

You got to love it!

I actually heard this back in the 80s or late 70s but it was a Sunday afternoon sports programme on RTE radio. Philip Greene is commentating on a game in Waterford and Liam ? (can't remember his second name) was the programme anchor. They got round to discussing Waterford's much travelled Paul Kirk. This is not too far from a direct quote.
Liam ? : "Paul Kirk, Phil, a man of many clubs, a peri-patetic player indeed"
Philip Greene: "Actually he's a very good player, Liam, very skilfull"
Liam ?: "No, Phil, I meant a peri-patetic player"
Philip: "No, no Liam, he's not very pathetic, he's having a fine game"
Liam: "I said peri-patetic, Philip......"

At this stage I was laughing so much I gleaned only bits of the rest of the conversation. I think Liam (what the fcuk is his surname) thanked Phil and went over to another live game.

I think it was Liam Nolan??? not 100% sure though.
