About 2 weeks ago Motty came to a match at Sutton United. I had the honour of sitting next to him. I remember a moment of goal mouth action and on my right I heard ‘ohh’. The classic Motty exclamation. Made me beam with joy. To my generation he was the voice of football. RIP x
@RealTimVine A true gentleman, football has lost a commentary legend.
@RealTimVine A memory that will no doubt last a life time. Sorry for the loss of your friend. He will always hold legendary status among the football community x
@RealTimVine The voice of football when growing up 🙏🏽
@RealTimVine Along with Barry Davies and Brian Moore. Top drawer. Mottys commentary on this goal stayed with me. "Chance here for 3-3"
@RealTimVine I also had the pleasure of meeting Motty at Villa Park many moons ago. He was a delightfully charming man but seemingly also quite unaware of how loved & important he was to all of us fans who listened to his commentaries each week for years.
