The End Of An Era
Legendary football commentator John Motson will be covering his final Spurs home game for Match of the Day this afternoon, as part of his 50th and final season working with the BBC.
The 72-year-old broadcaster, known as ‘Motty’, will hang up his microphone at the end of the current campaign, having spent half a century commentating on many of the most famous and iconic football matches and moments for the BBC.
During that time he has covered 10 World Cups, 10 European Championships, over 200 England games and 29 FA Cup Finals – six of them involving us. Indeed, who could ever forget his memorable commentary during our 1981 FA Cup Final replay against Manchester City – ‘Villa... AND STILL RICKY VILLA! What a fantastic run! He's scored!’
This season, Motty will be covering each Premier League team at home at least once for Match of the Day as part of a ‘farewell tour’ and today’s fixture against West Bromwich Albion will bring back plenty of memories of his time commentating on our matches – and, of course, of Wembley Stadium.
