Cheers,
The Gaffer

I've just discovered your site…I like it.

Thank you.

You are a fantastic commentator, and I'm sure your job can be absolutely thrilling at times, but do you have any stand-out moments or special highlights from your long career as a football commentator?

And by the same token, are there any horror stories from your time as a commentator, whether it be at a World Cup or just a routine Premier League match? Have there been any moments when it has all gone terribly wrong?

Thanks alot.

I'd like to tell you how much I enjoy your work. I have a couple of questions for you:

1. Are you are aware of the substantial thread which has been running on Digital Spy since the beginning of 2005, discussing football commentators?

2. The thread was started when you stopped covering all of the “Super Sunday” games for Sky Sports. Why did your position change at Sky at that time?

3. Although you commentated for the Australian market, do you regret not having the opportunity to commentate for the UK on the 2005 Champions League final (Liverpool/Milan)?

4. Do yourself and Andy Gray still have a £1 bet on the score of each game you commentate on?

Best,
Nick

First of all just a quick comment of thanks and appreciation for the work and dedication that you afforded the world of football throughout your career and I always relish the games that we get to see in the US when you are at the mike.

My question is did you (or do you still) have a favourite team that you supported growing up? And if so, as you built your career how on earth do you manage to show no bias or take sides when calling a game? What is like to call an England match and keep an even keel?!! I'm pretty sure I would be fired after the first half of trying to announce an Ipswich Town match….keep up the great work and Cheers!!
