BBC MOTD at 50: Commentators through the years

[@kunle1928]

Barry Davies was the best. Comes across as a great guy too.

[@markw5420]

Barry Davies was the Boss

[@Stuffthatsfunny1]

Gift of letting you watching the game. Shame the modern ones don't do it

[@BluebirdFrank]

Hugh Johns was the best ever - so much better than the awful ones we have to endure today

[@tomboz777]

BBC has some great commentators...and Jonathan Pearce.

[@Warzulu77]

Bunny in the Box he’s the worst

[@Amber90125]

David Coleman & Barry Davis are the best

[@mynameismark25]

came over to watch this after some controversy surrounding punditry and quite frankly we don't need them. All we need are commentators and presenters who has dulcet tones to make the viewing have some audio to go along with it.

[@GrahamPearson-oo4uy]

All the football presenters from David Coleman through to Gary Lineker Have relied on Albert for the stats.

[@mohamedabdihakim8017]

my favorite comter Tony Jones & John champion

[@edmundpower1250]

Brian Moore and John Motson tops Peter Jones top radio

[@Johnobrien27]

Hugh johns was a fantastic commentator and Brian moore too.

[@KOP-YNWA-LFC]

Kenneth Wolstenhome was the best.

[@amcmenemy5647]

They think it's all over.

[@andyhello23]

For me my fav commentator was, as arsenal fan in late 80s as a kid, and having jonathen pearce on capital radio in london, listening to arsenal games He would go crazy, great radio commentator On tv pearce is not that good, but growing up as kid in late 80s being arsenal fan, listening to jonathen pearce do our games on capital radio i think it was Tv commentators back then did not like us, so i just ignore who they were I stopped watching arsenal in 2002, but jonathen pearce on capital radio in london in late 1980s was my fav commentator, a real good radio football commentator, and heard so many games as a kid like that Barry davies hated arsenal, but john motson was not as bad. But barry davies clearly was anti arsenal, so i could not stand listening to him on tv, especially that 1991 semi at wembley with the spurs rubbish we played that day, the only thing in tottenham history they did, and they can only speak about 1 gaza freekick against us

[@bradfieldhouse3376]

I want to be a mots commentator.

[@martinsmith1538]

Motty never beaten.

[@motormouthalmighty]

COR.THE OLD ENGLISH ACCENTS!

[@mattbraddock2842]

Gone are the days when a commentator can tell you who has got the f ing ball. Pathetic drivel that cheats you of the atmosphere and emotion of the game. I really miss the commentry of masters like Bryon Butler and Peter Jones who could paint with their words such a beautiful picture of the game.

[@MohamedAli-xu3uw]

Guy mobury out.

[@DISTER141]

Fake commentary

[@chasb4515]

How is it fake? They commentate on 90 minutes of football from the stadium and do the interviews after the game

[@mohamedabdihakim8017]

my favorite comter Tony Jones & John champion
