    Probably the first commentator I can remember growing up. He was as big a part of the game back then to me as Zidane or the Original Ronaldo.

    RIP

    Still the best there’s been for me. Didn’t try to be clever, witty or complicate things. Sometimes simple was best (apologies that sounds a bit hunish). Just gave you the facts. Seemed a lovely man.

    From John Motson's book............................Motty,



    I made my International debut in 1972, it was Scotland against Northern Ireland, the game was played at Hampden park, and enabled me to meet Jock Stein the legendary Celtic manager who was working as a pundit at the time for the BBC.

    Dennis Law and Peter Lorimer scored for Scotland in a 2 nil win, i remember being in awe of Stein, who disarmed me by inviting me back to his house for a cup of tea.
