[Archived] Your favourites sporting commentaries

[T4E]

A mini discussion seems to have started over on the NFL thread about memorable sporting commentaries (of the "They think it's all over" type), talking about times when you've been watching a sporting event and something a commentator has said or the way they have reacted to what is happening has really stuck in your mind and become almost as memorable as the action itself. A couple have been mentioned in the NFL thread that I don't know the story behind, so I thought it would be interesting to know what your most memorable commentaries are.

Here's a couple of mine - 

Steven Gerrard vs Olympiakos -

At work, so can't get youtube up.

But a couple of mine.

FA Cup Semi Final 1991- Gazza stands over a free kick for Tottenham-

Barry Davies 'he's not going to hit it from there... he is you know.. OHHHHH I SAY'

Liverpool V Arsenal title decider May 1989-

Brian Moore: 'Here comes Thomas breaking through the midfield, It's up for grabs nowwwwwwwwww..... Thomassssss!'

[Al]

Brian Johnstone's clangers on Test Match Special still crease me up.

"The batsman's Holding. The bowler's Willey."

"He couldn't get his leg over(the stumps)."

Hate Arsenal, but that was a great moment.

Not great in a "They think it's all over" kind of way, but certainly some of the most unintentionally comical has come from Kammy.

However, he's nothing compared to the god that is, Murray Walker

Not really match commentary but it was a live reaction to a goal scored on the radio.

[Aberdeen Blue]

"Thirty-five seconds to go…this is the one…it's coming back for Jonny Wilkinson…he drops for World Cup glory…it's up, it's over [accompanied by a strangled shriek of triumph emitted by Rob Andrew at his side]…he's done it… Jonny Wilkinson is England's hero yet again…"

Epic!

Similarly, "Redknapp....OH!"

Could have been one to haunt a Rover for the rest of time, but thankfully remembered for all the right reasons.

Sadly I don't think I'll ever forget that prannitt Tyldsley's triumphant cry of "...and Solskjaer has won it!" from the '99 Champions League Final.

[Valois]

Liverpol 4-3 Newcastle 3 April 1996

Absolute classic, and up there as one of the greatest games of all time.

Martin Tyler on the Collymore's goal in stoppage time.

"Barnes, Rush, Barnes, Collymore closing in, Liverpool lead in stoppage time, Kevin Keegan hangs his head, he's devastated"

[Mattyblue]

Martin Tyler, class of his own amongst today's commentators.

[brfcshabba]

"Shearer, chasing it on, he's behind Pallister, who can't pull him down,

There's the inevitable outcome! They're off the bench! Blackburn Rovers! Shearer strikes again! 2-0!"

Martin Tyler, Blackburn 2-0 Manchester United 93-94

[92er]

1968 Olympics in Mexico, 400m final.

"And Hemery wins with the opposition nowhere." (Another English runner came in 3rd)

[Grabbi Graeme]

Andy Gray "Charlotte can tuck this in for me?"

[bazza]

"And now Shearer. He's got Wegerley to his right.....................OH!!!"

The chip over Gunn when we beat Norwich City 7-1
