Truly the end of an era - James Alexander Gordon retires

[tinycowboy]

He made that elongated "nil" for the home-team all his own. When I was young, I thought that once JAG had read out the score, that was official confirmation and it couldn't be changed. Happy retirement JAG.

i wonder how many times in his career he has said the word "Nil"

And I wonder how many times he said the word "NINE".

He probably remembers the day he said it. We certainly do.

The classified results will just sound WRONG being done by anyone else.

Sad day for football.

 

[Stat Brother]

Thanks to him we never got beaten by Kingstonian.


He got the fixture wrong and substituted us for someone else.

Presumably Will and Kate are fans of his...

I used to listen to the him on the football special to woodingdean. Praying that we wouldn't get stuck in the tunnel in New England Hill so the reception would be blocked. Every time I hear his voice all the memories of those times flood back. Sad day indeed.

I wish it was James Corden instead of James Gordon.

I'm with you there.

Just heard an interview with him - he just has the one regret - he wished he had had the opportunity to read out:-

Forfar 5 - East Fife 4

Legend. Wish him a happy and long retirement

On the subject of football results, and marking both the retirement of JAG and the passing of Mel Smith:
