Its so important IMO, to have A VOICE in tandem with the crowd and what goes on in the game, these current ones have crap dialogue, ordinary speaking voices, and overdo the claptrap, they are boring. Martin Tyler doesn't cut it for me. No one with a classic voice, I quite like some radio commentators like Mike Ingham but nowhere near this lot....
Less is more, and the king was David Coleman.
Closely followed by John Motson
Barry Davies
Brian Moore
Gerald Sinstad
Hugh Johns
Ken Wolstenhome
And of course other sports legendary commentators, Bill Mclaren, Peter O Sullevan, Ted Lowe, Dan Maskell, Jim Laker, richie Benaud, Sid Wadell, Harry Carpenter, Ron Pickering, and my favourite Cliff Morgan.
Now there some voices for you.

John Motson? You can't be serious surely?
He is one of the worst commentators around and is so annoying! He talks complete nonsense usually nothing to do with the game in front of him. He finishes every sentence with either a question or exclamation mark and he pronounces 90% of footballers names wrong even though his co commentator is saying them correctly!!
