Always thought he was far more informative than Reg Gutteridge, although I loved Reg as well.

Peter Allis is a cock... but then I hate golfists and their silly trousers and their stupid looking bats that ruin many a good car so that they can fit in the boot.

Well, well, well, well, well... as PA would no doubt say

Yup, 'Arry was brilliant at his job and seemed to get on really well with the fighters he commentated on like Ali and Bruno etc. Remember his commentary on an Ali fight with Foreman, I think - "The Rumble in the Jungle". Great stuff.

A sad loss.

Yeah so many of the great voices of sport that we grew up with have either passed on or retired... Brian Johnston, Ted Lowe, Murray Walker, Dan Maskell, John Arlott, David Coleman, to name but a few.

RIP, know what I mean Harry?

Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?
