Blimey, I didn't realise that he is THAT old. !oldie!

Coleman was easy to ridicule, simply because of his enthusiasm. The guy had lots of stats at his fingertips, and during the viddyprinter part of Grandstand would get excited by some routine score in the English or Scottish third division because it was some team's first away win in 17 games. Yes, he had a section of Private Eye named after him, but Coleman was a legend---and in the days before city to city flights every 20 minutes, he had to provide live news coverage during the Munich Olympics terror siege.

He was also the first host of 'A Question Of Sport'.

Just listened to Chelseas drab game against an unlucky Middlesborough, but what made it a real slog was Stan Collymore's droning Cannock accent, even if he does know his stuff, shit commentary is still shit commentary from where I'm listening

What about Garry Cotterrill who only speaks in limericks for Sky Sports - he must sit down before doing his bit and think of every old cliche in the book that he can fit in to his rhyming slang patter.
