Just heard his last ever official commentary on TV or Radio was our 0-2 win away at Chelsea on Boxing Day a few years ago. Redmond scored the last ever goal he commentated on. 

He came to one of our referees meetings to give us a talk and was well worth listening to. I remember him as a man of large stature with great presence.

I can still remember his commentary for our home game against Everton on an icy pitch in 78 or 9 .  Graham Baker scored one of his trademark volleys from a cleared corner  "little Graham Baker ! ". 

I could be wrong, it may have been his debut against Blackpool.

Great commentator, full of facts about the teams and the complete obosite of the commentator who did the Chelsea game last week.

RIP Motty. Like others here I grew up with him as one of the voices of football. 

Loved all his little stats, he worked so hard. 

I'll never forget his minor obsession with R9s girlfriend during the 2002 WC.

"Hehehe...there's the lovely Suzanna...wearing what could be described as a Brazil yellow summer dress...."

"Err John...John...the match?"
