John Motson Passes Away aged 77
Always liked his commentary when I used to regularly watch MotD, while Martin Tyler is my least fav due to his anti-LFC bias, just seems to suck out all the enjoyment out of every goal.
Btw noticed there are like 7 RIP threads on the front page of the chill out subforum, looks a bit like a depressing obituary section, maybe would be sensible to have a dedicated RIP thread?

Sad he didn't get more of a retirement. But I guess working past retirement age tells you he loved his job and it showed. The attention to preparing his data for every match and the ability to get excited but still remain coherent.
But also his journalistic ability, I seem to remember he was the commentator on Hillsborough as it happened and he just described what he could see. That must have taken a lot composure.
He set a high standard for everyone else to match. RIP Motty.

Actually there is one, but guess we went through a spell of no one passing one for a while shortly after starting it and it got forgotten about

Probably makes sense to merge them all together and make it for both sports and celebrity tributes
