Bill for Rugby
Murray for F1

But honestly I've always enjoyed Ian Darkes Commentry either it Football or Peferably Boxing, his history and knowledge on both sports alongside his unbiased views have always been enjoyable.

Worst ever- Mick Mcarthy @ WC and Euro's (ITV WTF)

Bill Maclaren every time, rugby has not been the same without him :(

Honourable mention to Sid Waddell of the darts, he is a legend, and he signed my hawaiian shirt :D

I like Mottys voice.

Reminds me of watching football with my pops as a youngster.

Anyone but Mark "Chappers" Chapman. That man's nasal tone goes through me. If you're on radio and commentating you're supposed to have a voice that's easy to listen to not one that makes you sound like Ed Miliband!

I have to agree with the poster that said John Motson. His voice is just synonymous with vintage football and great football events like World Cup games and FA Cup Finals.

I love Martin Tyler's orgasmic outbursts though. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! :D

I don't think I know a RL fan that likes them, before cancelling Sky Sports, I found myself watching Super League with the volume on mute. By far the most biased commentators!

Ian Brown, commentated on the Cardiff City v Manchester City FA Cup game for Match of the Day, "Nathan Blake, the jewel in the Cardiff City crown has glittered" :ayatollah:

"You can't stop Phil Stant scoring in the Welsh Cup" :ayatollah:

Funniest was Huw Johns, commentating on Cardiff v Wrexham (Nathan's last ever game for City).
"What a goal... Nathan Blake, no, no, sorry, Darren Adams, Darren Adams, well forgive me but the quality of that goal was all Nathan Blake and it happened out in a flash, the very firast goal of this young mans career and let's glory in it again."

And it was as good a goal as I have ever seen anywhere. Went on to win 5-1. Wrexham had two sent off, Blake scoring the last two. :ayatollah:

John Motson has to be the worst commentator of all time. He says every players name completely wrong even players who have been in the premiership for 10 years. He says the bloody obvious during games and most annoyingly of all he finishes every sentence with an exclamation mark, it drives me insane.
