The "poor, poor lad" and "wide to west" are unforgettable, but others I remember are

1. Purdham going off at Quins with blood pouring down his face. Barry Mac to Bill Arthur: "not to worry, Bill. Chicks dig scars."

2. Barry Mac on Danny Tickle making a tackle from behind: "Mr Tickle has got very long arms."

3. Stevo on Shaun Briscoe's nose: "London via Norwich."

4. GB-Aus Test at Wigan a few years back. Aussie passes the ball to Senior, who sprints away for the game-sealing try. Eddie, as Senior gets near the line: "A gift of a pass, wrapped up in a green and gold ribbon."

Here's one I like ('Benji Marshall Magic Top Quality' on that site) :-



Now they're going to go a little wider. Prince ball back for Marshall. The footwork! The footwork! Benji Marshall! Now the speed! The footwork again! Away from Peachey! Passes without looking! Away for Richards! Back to Fitzhenry! That is as good as you will see, on a Sunday afternoon, anywhere, in the National Rugby League! Benji Marshall has sent the Tigers fans into a frenzy!

castleford v hull kr this season there commentator was funny calling lovegrove lynda love lace

can just hear him saying that

i was at that game live so i missed the commentry



sorry



origin again -



ray warren after queensland score a last second try going through 10 + sets of hands



thats not a try, its a miracle.

"What's happening? Somebody's been sent off! Sid Hynes has been sent off!"

"Bradford Northern player" - that whole commentary from Darrell Eastlake is a poem, especially with Jack Gibson as his co-commentator and Ray French on the sideline.



Also Ray French's 'Mal Meninga this 15 stone Brisbane policeman' is genius. Any variant that involves a players weight, height, occupation or amateur club deserves an honourable mention as well.

"Look at him go.Hes got more toe than a Roman sandal"

On that theme it was drummed into me from an early age (a bit like the times tables) that John Holdsworth was from Kippax in West Yorkshire!

"The former Blackbrook amateur....."

Something along the lines of:



'The trickle of Saints fans leaving this ground has swelled into a river'.

Ray French, radio 5.

unless you're a saints fan, you're unlikely to remember this one, but it is my earliest memory of commentary from a match involving my team:



"Tony Burke!...he took everybody by surprise, I think including himself"



prize for anyone who can name the game and who scored the match winning try moments later
