For comical quips it must be Brian Johnston with his cricket commentary.

Surely Pot/Kettle?
I've never met Alan Green but that sounds exactly how he comes across. Savage gets something right!!!!!

On the other end of the scale, I give you Ray Hudson who commentates a lot on Canadian channels and hurts my ears!..."It's a wet dream of orgasmic proportion"

Ouch ! he's awful ! he has a horrible Geordie shouty whine whenever anything remotely exciting happens, I genuinely have had to turn off his commentary on a few occasions.
PS It's John Murray I think.

Bit disappointed an Albion forum has yet to come up with Jim Proudfoot, Tony Millard or Johnny Cantor for their brief but oh so memorable gems.

They get my vote....grew up on listening to the radio for my diet of football
Suppose it takes one to know one.
Who comes on loan to a third division team playing at an athletics stadium which they don't own driving a Lamborghini ffs?
Back to the commentators:
Football - Barry Davies all the way. Something excellent about him being middle to upper class but still being able to hit the right tone/notes on the working man's game (when it was still the working man's game.)
Other sports there can be only one - Richie Benaud. Sublime.
Football - Brian Moore - "Look at the concentration on the face of Newcastle boss Kevin Keegle, er, Keggy Keegan, er, Keggy Keegle"
Cricket - John Arlott -(describing NZ slow medium pacer Bob Cunis who couldn't spin the ball) “And, as for Cunis, his bowling, like his name, was neither one thing nor the other.”

Savage is more a pantomime villain, whereas Green is a ****.

Maybe but there have been very few Pro footballers who have succeeded with less talent than him.

Rugby: got to be Bill McLaren; Cricket: Benaud (TV) and Arlott (radio). Legends all.
