Martin_T Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The voice of the less high profile games on MotD for me, along with Gerald Sinstadt. Was saddened to hear of his passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiewave Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 One also realises watching that the general public's command of spoken English is in serious decline.

pablo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 That's a shame. RIP The Dell too. Cracking atmosphere there with only 15,000 inside too. Alan Ball v Gerry Francis, and Ian Walker playing. It was like a strokers convention. Cheers for posting that Gorgiewave. I enjoyed watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
