Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Only just discovered this chap and his poetic commentary of the beautiful game. Absolutely unreal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3xPMH-u7a4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odqb9xWJTzk&feature=related He's no Craig Paterson.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Stuart Hall is a legend! To be banned from Fighting Talk is quite an achievement as well! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv_7tmyz9y4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think it was Stuart Hall who once said "quarante-deux secondes - that's about forty-two seconds". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Big city fan,always got my kill at him on It's a Knockout when I was younger and he spent half the show laughing,also somehow ended up on the subs bench when Liverpool won the European Cup in Rome in 77,they wouldn't let the press pitch side and Shankley saw Stuart and put a Liverpool Tracksuit on him and he got one of the best seats in the house!

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Can't believe I've never heard of him, it's only been the past few weeks tuning into the English games on the way back from the fitbaw I've discovered his genius. They asked him how Boltons day was today and his response was to shout 'BLACK' Then some ridiculous words I had never heard before. Very entertaining.

Tazio Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 And of course he said this in an interview. "Ask him to name an ideal footballer, though, and he favours Dave Mackay. "That Spurs double-winning side was mesmerising, and Mackay was its greatest talent. Great balance, great skill, peripheral vision, and muscular with it. He, and Duncan Edwards and Roy Paul at City, were players of a type that we don't see today. Mackay was a compendium of everything that I love in football. I was saying this once at Derby, before the game, and I was told, 'He's standing next to you!' He was working as a meeter and greeter. We had a laugh about it, and Mackay told me that I was his favourite football reporter! Here was a man, not just a footballer, you could respect. Of how many modern players could you say that?"

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I remember him being the brilliant voice over in "It's a knockout" I used to love that TV show when I was a kid! His descriptions of some of the matches he attends are simply brilliant, I've always been a fan of his, and he's a good Man City stalwart too!

tartofmidlothian Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 His radio reports are one of the high points of English footie. They should give him Lineker's job, although he must be 70-odd at least by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 This must be a first for Kickback - everyone in agreement! Stuart is indeed awesome and is great entertainment value. I echo the sentiments of John & Bev Re Its A Knockout. He was the star of that show - as soon as he started laughing, you had to join in. I like his radio summaries and as stated he comes across as fair and honest in his reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
