Those that know me are aware that list compiling is a bit of a hobby ( top 5 sandwiches is always a well debated subject after a few ales) and I stumbled across one today that combined 2 real interests: top 50 sporting commentators.
Granted it was on the Daily Mail website but that aside, all my personal favourites were there...Alliss,Barry Davies, sadly departed Reg Gutteridge and rightly so ,the top man,numero uno,Richie Benaud. A man who just let the pictures say the words until the wisest and most astute of words were required. Confectionery stalls all over England lit up in 1981 following yet another Botham six and a Benaudism that was probably never bettered. Of the new crop ,it was good to see Mike Atherton in there,he has a sharp eye for detail and an even sharper mouth for saying what really needs saying at times.
Tomorrow morning will see me rise at six of the cloakings for a new destination of Knaresborough i shall be travelling via my usual mode of cross country train and report back soonest
