    David Coleman, the BBC Television sports commentator

    About Asa Hartford, a footballer who was born with a hole in the heart

    "Here he is, that whole-hearted player: Asa Hartford!"

    Commentating at the Olympics

    "...And the great Cuban 400-metre runner: Juantorena, only has to open his legs to show us his class!"

    And on several different occasions

    "Football is a game of two halves!"

    "This is now a whole different ball game!" (It wasn't, by the way: same teams, same code, same pitch etc).

    The man is a legend.

    Unlike Ron Atkinson a First Division manager at the time, on a television sports programme with Kevin Keegan, then Liverpool and England's main striker. They were commenting on a match in the 1970s.

    Atkinson: "These black players, they've got no bottle. They'll never be any good."

    Keegan: "Are you sure?"

    Atkinson: "Go on, name me one good black player. One black player who's any good at all. Just one. Go on!"

    Keegan: "Ever heard of a fella called Pele?"

    Minor correction there Alex.

    What happened was Rexie used to (still does? :confused: ) live above Reef Beach on Sydney Harbour which was one of the first nude beaches in Sydney back in the '70's.

    Anyway, one day Rex, getting sick of the "lurkers" in the bushes affected a citizen's arrest of one of them. When subsequently talking to the media about it he offered the classic quote: "I've got nothing against people's genitals, I just don't want them shoved down my throat" :eek:

    I stand corrected. It's even more effective when accurately quoted.

    I like to make double entendres out of nothing. Call it a bit of fun, call it immaturity, whatever, it annoys the hell out of people.

    My old man bought himself a Karcher yesterday. As he wandered off to bed last night, he exclaimed "I'm going to give my pressure cleaner a burl tomorrow". I said "is that what you call it?" He said "yes, it's got a 10 metre hose". I said "you're just bragging now." See, it's easy and endless fun for all the family.
    "I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

    Bugger. And I always thought that quote was by Fred Nile when he was commenting on the Gay Mardi Gras.

    Probably a bit off-topic, but bugger it.

    The best commentator type comment I remember was during a West Indies v England test a few years back. Interviewed later, the guy (wish I could remember his name) said he had waited for ages to say it. The poms were in a tight spot, only the bowlers left etc etc, when the comment came:

    "And the the bowlers holding the batsmans willie"
