John Motson, the BBC soccer commentator who was one of the most well\u002Dknown voices in British sport for 50 years, has died. He was 77.
Motson was known for his passion and knowledge of soccer, and was synonymous with wearing a sheepskin coat in the commentary box.
“Like all the greats behind the mic,” Davie said, “John had the right words, at the right time, for all the big moments.”His big break came in 1972 when, on trial as a fledgling commentator, he was asked to call an FA Cup match between Hereford, which played in England’s non-leagues, and first-division Newcastle.
“If Ronnie hadn’t scored that goal and Hereford had not beaten Newcastle, I don’t think I would be here talking to you now,” Motson said as he reflected back on his career before retirement.
