He commentated on over 2500 games, including 10 world cups. Truly the GOAT.

Man, the memories!

First heard him in FIFA 99, when I played the game on the first PC that I built. ⚽

Since then, he has been one of the most recognizable voices for me in football commentary. One of the absolute greats of the game. Legendary be the word, alright.

RIP. 😟

It's funny. Heard the voice for years but never actually knew what he looked like. Cannot remember ever seeing his face until now.

The only Fifa I played was 2004. He did have a great voice for soccer and I can still hear him say "Flick on!".

Generations have grown up with him in their front rooms, joining them for the football.

He was football, to all of us in the UK I would wager.

Sad times.
