[edit] Creepy Moment

Motson's reading of the names of the 'historic' English penalty missers as the final whistle approached in the England Portugal 2006 World Cup quarter final extra time was the creepiest touch in a long career. Shame on you, Jock Motson. Should this fact be entered into the full article ?Pliny 21:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

>No, firstly its POV and second of all the implication that John Motson could sympathise with anybody but England is beyond stupid--Freshko 16:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

Are as much a part of an article on Motty as they are part of an article on Yogi Berra. No one reads wikiquote. What is it? Where is it? Not all articles should be made boring. 62.64.226.229 23:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The look at that moment

John Motson didn't repeat that quote in December, it was Ian Darke for Sky Sports.

[edit] Voice commentry for footy games?

I was wondering if we should add a list of the football games he has added commentary too such as FIFA 98: Road to World Cup ect? Govvy (talk) 14:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
