....and he's doing a bit of a boogie!

Eddie Waring towards the end of a floodlit match: "....and the shadows are lengthening."

Northern Eagles player v Brisbane around 2000ish - Ray Warren commentating after the Eagles player had juggled the ball 10m out trying to keep hold of it and still managed to beat the defence and go in for the try...

Paul Vautin - 'Oh its the juggler....'
Ray Warren - 'Put him in the circus... put him somewhere... he's too good for this game!!!'

Absolute classic on the spot commentary

I think it was Sheffield v Wigan.

It was at the time of Pheonix Nights classic episode where Max is hired as a hit man, performing the act with an antique gun.

Tuigamala breaks and looks certain to score then falls inexplicably - cue Phil Clarke
"I think someone shot him with a broom handled mouser!"

Can't have been Tuigamala, he returned to the Dark Side 5 years before Phoenix Nights.

Maybe got the names wrong but Phil Clarke defo said it and it was very amusing at the time. Maybe got mixed up with the "ghost of don valley" incident I vaguely seem to recall

Can't remember who was playing but in an 80s NRL game one of the commentators talking about an isolated player "He's all out there. Like a shag on a rock." lol

Phil ford, he's a stepper

Carney :I'm as happy as a rabbit with two cocks bill

Bill Arthur: we are live Brian

On YouTube there's a clip of Andy Farrell who'd "like to thank big fat garry schofield for the inpsiration" to winning a MoM award.

there was a classic golfing one where the commentator described one golfers prematch rituatial of letting his wife get his balls out to give them a little kiss before the round.

Also on said video site is a video called "Ray French's Slip Of The Tongue", which is a personal fave of mine

Alex Murphy said of Kevin Ward, 1986 Challenge Cup Final "he`s got a look of Barney Rubble"

After David Hobbs nearly short-armed Greg Conescu's head off his shoulders in the 1984 tour:

"That was a bad one mate"

"Yeah but Conescu had a face like a robber's dog anyway"

type in ' widnes batley' on a certain site, and go on the 1st one.

on 2minutes 9seconds,

" the hooters about to go, theres the hooter ( batley fans cheering in the background), why dont widnes drop a goal? last minute inside ball OOOOOOHHHHHH THATS WHY WIDNES DONT DROP A GOAL"

absolute classic

That's awesome!

Did the poor folks sat in front of the commentary box provided with complimentary waterproof, or more specifically phlegm-proof, jackets?

Australian commentry on Paul Carige, "he's made some of the dumbest plays I've ever seen in a game of Rugby League". Salford signed him shortly afterwards.

Also an Aussie commentator calling Andy Gregory "the tubby milkbottle".

Ray Warren every time Jamal Idris touches the ball...."He's the biggest human being in the world"

I refer your honour to the fourth post on page 2 of this thread ...

The little milkbottle with chunky legs haha

Andrew King - Houdini!

Halifax v Hull KR CC quater final 1987
Alex Murphy talking about Wilf George.
"Just look at the size of those legs he's like one of those giant turkeys"

Not the best but one i remember is after lauitiitis try in the corner against wigan 2006 stevo watching the video ref replay says "no no no....oh hes got it! this will be the try of the century!"

Ray French at the Old Craven park 'they come here every week to salute their hero's'

Just as the high level camera panned across the toilet block with no roof, all you could see was steam coming out of it

Was it Ted Lowe who said 'for those of you with black & white Tv's, the pink is behind the blue'
