When the World Cup was on this year...

... Who was the old goat with the shouty voice on ITV?

Old, bearded chap from what I remember. Read poetry. Started off quiet and would then finish a sentence by yelling at the top of his pipes.

Who was he?

[Shaggy]

The ****?

Who was he?

It was Brian Blessed

[Shaggy]

I was gonna suggest Brian Blessed, not that I saw him at any point during the World Cup ....but beardy and yelling suggested it had to be Blessed.

I would love to see him try his hand at being a National Hunt jockey.

There was some pre-match footage of people reading 'powerful' scripture, patriotic stuff to get the emotions stirring.

Blessed was used for a fair bit of it.

[Lee]

Blessed! That's the ****er.

Thank you chaps for helping me, even with my terrible description

[fah-q]

Sure it wasn't Charles Hawtrey?

I don't like him.

The reason I wanted to remember who it was is so I can find a contact email address for him. And ask him why he feels the need to shout in such a way

[Shaggy]

Have you never heard of or noticed Brian Blessed before?

[wiw]

Surely you've seen Flash (aaaaaah!!1) Lee
