Or not, as he packed it in at least 5 years ago. All personal opinion, of course, but to me he was a legend amongst commentators, and basically the voice of football on BBC for decades. Do you mean the MOTD highlight voiceovers he still does, by any chance?'"
I never said it was live, as I said I was listening to MOTD, he is still employed to 'commentate' whether that is watching it live or not.
Voice of football for the BBC he may be but he is no legend in my opinion, just familiar and has a voice that isn't particularly grating.
But given what I heard last Sat or Sun (& I've listened to his commentaries for years) he just says the names of the player the ball went to, not even a mention of a pass or if they were stood in X position. anyone can call out the name of the player the ball goes to and then describe what just happened. Even in his pomp his commentary was very bare and lacking descriptive narration, now it's almost like listening to Eddie Waring in his latter years.
