Your most memorable Sports Commentators lines ....

[Conroy92]

Not from a commentator but remember driving past a Church during a tournament and outside was a sign that said "Jesus saves... but Owen scores the rebound".

Apologies that some have already appeared but I haven't got time to edit.

Pat Glenn-Weightlifting Commentator: "This is Gregoriava from
Bulgaria.... I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing."

Ted Walsh-Horse Racing Commentator: "This is really a lovely horse, I
once rode her mother."

Murray Walker :"The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one
behind it which is identical."

Greg Norman: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

Alan Minter: "Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing - but none
of them serious."

Terry Venables: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect
the same thing again"

Ron Atkinson: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it - you
can see it all over their faces."

Harry Carpenter-BBC TV Boat Race 1977: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of
the Cambridge president is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew."

Metro Radio: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven
Dicks on the field."

David Coleman at the Montreal Olympics: "There goes Juantorena down the
back straight, opening his legs and showing his class."

US TV Commentator: "One of the reasons Arnie [Arnold Palmer] is playing so
well is that, before each tee-shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses
them... Oh my God, what have I just said?"

Ted Lowe Snooker classics...

Lowe uttered the occasional on-air gaffe, one of his most famous quotes being,

"and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green."

He once told viewers that Fred Davis, struggling to rest one leg on the edge of the table in order to reach a long shot,

"Fred is getting on a bit and is having trouble getting his leg over".

Shortly before he retired, Bill McLaren was interviewed for a documentary on his life.

At one point, the interviewer suggested to him that he was never too harsh on a player who made a glaring mistake ... McLaren looked back at him and smiled, " Firstly, nobody goes out to play badly, and secondly, in 1944 I served as a forward spotter for the Royal Artillery during the Italian campaign. One morning, I entered a small village to find the bodies of 1,100 men, women & children killed by the retreating Germans in revenge for local Partisan's activities .... when you've seen that, son, a game of Rugby doesn't matter a row o' beans ! "

At the first Scotland home game after his death in 2010, there was a minute's applause in his memory, his wife, then in her mid 80's and his family were guests of honour. As it finished, the Commentator said " You may wonder why you didn't see any pictures of the McLaren family, I have to tell you that Mrs McLaren appeared extremely emotional, and we saw no merit in broadcasting images to you of an elderly lady in a state of great distress "

A touch of class from the broadcaster .....

Yesterday, travelling from Glasgow to Oban, the radio was intermittent. The players were about to start the mens final. Then nothing. As I was driving around one bend, after about 20 mins of nothing. My commentary started and ended with: "Serves into the net".

That was my entire mens final offering!
