He was a good commentator, The Big Match was a key part of Sunday lunchtimes, but he used to irritate me when he did England games. He used to catastrophise before that was even a word.

Blimey, I think I agree with every one of those! (Especially Barry Davies who I always preferred to John 'ha ha' Motson).
EDIT: Just realised I've replied to a post over ELEVEN years old! Fell for a Crodo bounce.

Not in Surrey
Murray Walker for F1, legendary
Peter Jones was brilliant.
Don’t get the Davies plaudits, always preferred Moore over him and Motty, in fact Martin Tyler as well.
However, favourite all time commentator in any sport…..
Peter Alliss…….. just superb.
(Got to meet him at the seniors open, he was a lovely chap, took time out to chat with my son and his friend).

The greatest line of sports commentary ever imo (and had nothing to do with sports which makes it even better!)

Peter Alliss was amazing. Knew the sport inside out, he let the pictures do the talking, an obvious affection for many players such as Seve, interspersed with wonderful chat. I remember the forever spiteful Daily Mail bitching about his alleged mistakes when he was still brilliant at his job …. wnkrs.
Yes. Peter Jones, Gerald Sinstadt, Alan Weekes, John Arlott, Richie Benaud. Imho all gods …. they made iconic moments magical and never about them or preplanned. I really liked David Vine too …. skiing!

I wrote a piece a long time ago about an Albion match at Fulham

I'm not really bothered with TV commentators, I just get engrossed in the match. I couldn't really say who is good and who is not. But radio is different. You know who is good because they become central to your experience.
Bryon Butler and Peter Jones. No-one can match.

Back in January 1979 the FA Cup was in its most primitive forms. There were no such things as penalties to end a replay. So basically you replayed until such a time as there was a result. There was…
