RIP John, if there was ever a commentator who you could listen to day or night, it was you! The legend who will never be forgotten

[@frankconway6760]

Without a doubt the voice of football for the past 50 years... RIP John you're work is done.....thank you so much.

[@heskeylator]

Both Martin Tyler and John Motson were there for one of the standout games from my youth. In September 2001 for Germany 1-5 England. I think both of their commentary on that game just made it even more special. What a sad loss.

[@TheIkaraCult]

It keeps getting BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER!

[@TheIkaraCult]

Martin, Motty, and Barry Davies. The three best of my lifetime, legends all. RIP Motty.

[@forestaremagic96]

Rest in Peace John Motson

[@davidellis5135]

I loved John Motson, he was my favourite commentator, he and Barry Davies were legendary, the dynamic duo, Saturday night Match of the day, I will never forget the thrilling Italy v Brazil World cup game in the old RCD Espanol stadium in Barcelona in 1982, the atmosphere was electric, he's commentary was brilliant , with Brazil the favourites crashing out to Rossi's hat trick, he said "'after the game we were told we had to break for the news, I thought God' this is the news" , I think it was he's favourite game , he's co commentator Bobby Charlton had tears in he's eyes John said the emotion of the game had overwhelmed him, and then the France v Portugal semi final Euro 1984 was the other game he's spoke a lot about, with Platini scrambling the winner right at the end of extra time, Thank you John for all the years of your knowledge and your voice you gave to millions . I and so many others will never forget you.

[@davidbewick2978]

The greatest commentators evoke such memories, they have the gift of producing great words and emotion at just the right time and John Motson was and always will be in that category, thank you John.

[@evanpaul5]

I am one of the many Americans who was brought in and welcomed to the world of international football by his wonderful voice. He curated my love for the Premier League and the sport itself, which remains ever strong to this day. May he rest easy.

[@phrtao]

Heard the news in the car. I had to stop for a moment to take it in. Motty was the voice of football. A part of the game, a part of our lives. Wonderful memories !

So sad to hear about Motty! He was a massive part of Saturday nights growing up in the seventies! 😥

[@PrivateEye121]

Watching MOTD back in the 80's 90's was always a pleasure with John's commentary he brought his expertness to any game he spoke on, such a sad loss to the beautiful game ❤

[@joezhou9449]

RIP Motty. The true voice of football that guided us from childhood to adulthood. You'll always be missed.

[@choughed3072]

RIP John, always loved your commentary as a kid in the 90s. You will be missed ♥️

RIP Motson, he was the first football commentator i ever listened to, he made me fall in love with football commentary.

[@JJONNYREPP]

Martin Tyler pays tribute to John Motson ❤ if the Beeb are searching for a game to exemplify his commentating skills, his enthusiasm for the game, then the BeeB should air the portugal and france match form the 1980's... Portugal v France: remembering their classic semi-final at Euro 1984...

[@jabbadabbajew6035]

When I think football commentators John is the first that comes to mind. I can hear his voice playing in my mind when remembering such great games. RIP John; thank you for making every match that much more special

What a voice he had what a legend sleep peacefully sir John motson

[@brian_mcevoy_]

RIP John. "Talk little, but say a lot" So many modern sports commentators (not just football) need to tattoo that to their forehead.

[@christoo5125]

Grew up with John Motsons voice...made watching a game on TV special. Sad day. RIP Motty.

[@andrewattenboroughtwothumb4697]

R.I.P John. Legendary commentator be sadly missed.

[@beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee109]

john was an incredible man and commentator. he touched many football fans hearts. may he rest in peace.

[@lazyeejay]

Martin Tyler can only aspire to be in the same league as Motson. His prejudice against certain teams reflects in his commentary which sounds almost disappointed and unenthusiastic at times. Motty was a footballing encyclopedia and showed no bias, just pure excitement and professionalism in every game, giving fans plenty of information and allowing them to experience the game through his eyes. This is an extremely sad day, a huge loss in the football community - no-one will ever come close to John Motson. Thanks for the memories Mr Motson. RIP.

[@Zee_zippy]

Absolutely devastating 😢 A voice that everyone knew. His voice alone filled us with excitement regardless of the fixture. A natural talent that has blessed us all over the years with standards of which no one can reach. Unbelievable guy, truly missed but never will be forgotten. 🙏🏻❤️

[@abubakarjabo6808]

One great commentator paying tribute to another ,The two greatest commentators of all times.

[@leeturton9254]

We all loved him... iconic... for me his best game his most iconic game was England west Germany 1990... probably the most important game since 1966 before or since simply because England were good enough to lift the thing more so than any other time... everybody knew it at the time and of course we were facing the outstanding germans...an absolute pressure cooker of a game and motson nailed it for us... we'll never forget him r.i.p

[@jimwest7107]

Amazing man.

[@tunptl18]

Crappy news - he was THE voice of football for me. Love to his wife and son.

[@DrJourney776]

What a legend of the game

[@michaelmuldowney8]

"Talk little and say a lot" sums Motty up. Sadly Tyler is the exact reverse.

[@Instasamps]

They should rename the FA cup the John Motson trophy like how darts did with Sid Waddell. The voice of football, simple as. Hugely missed. His memory’s will last forever. Thank you Motty

[@BD4-ManchesterIsRed]

[@a.demifemiflapo5795]

Martin Tyler is younger than him by a few months and Motty still had a lot of energy in his commentaries 🤣 Tyler stop caring long ago 💀

[@LeornianCyng]

Legend, R.I.P. Inspired the next generation to commentate on both men and women’s sides of the game. Robyn Cowen, Seb Hutchinson, Pien Meulensteen, Steve Wilson, Gary Weaver have a lot of similarities to Motson.
