Who are your favourite sporting commentators of all time ?

Who are your favourite commentators in sport of all time ?
Mine are -
Football - Hugh Johns. Wasn't overseas football commentary much more exciting when it was a bit crackly and you knew it was long distance by the sound at World cups ?
Cricket - Richie Benaud. He would have " Australia " running through him like a stick of rock if you cut into him but a sublime neutral commentator .
Tennis - Dan Maskell " Oh I say " he proclaimed at a super shot from Borg or Evert in that most distinguished of voices.
Athletics - Ron Pickering. As if his passion for Athletics shining through wasn't enough he also presented that exciting 70's-80's kids classic challenge gameshow in the swimming pool " we are the champions ".
Golf - Peter Alliss . I find it hard to imagine golf existing without his little descriptive comments which often contain poetic merit. |

"The late great Sid Waddell,,,,,,, with his classic delivery of such poetic gems as
"He looks about as happy as a penguin in a microwave."
 "
Though i must say, Blofeld went up the ranking a fair bit last week when he mentionned a blowjob whilst commentating in the first Ashes test.
The other guys around could barely speak for laughing. |

Slightly off topic :
Worst commentator : The wife, any wife.
Do they really have to chatter whilst sport is on. An innate ability to do so at the most inopportune moment.
