This is what he said via https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp....n-motson-football-commentator-ready-to-retire

It's his 50th year at BBC . He still does MOTD and 5 live commentaries and will continue until end of season.

He's doing our game Saturday- his dad used to come and watch us so I hope he'll give us a fair appraisal and hope we can give him a goal or two to get excited about - I hope he can pronounce izquierdo too!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Always preferred him to Barry D.

I think his Dad had a season ticket next to my Dad.

Motson's father was the Rev William Motson, one-time chaplain to Worthing FC.
