Barry Davies gets so much stick, he's hated by many but I loved him as a kid. Palpable excitement.

Check him out for this

Davies was a great commentator.

Superb.

My Dad always hated Davies, hated him. A few on here do too, including Neil , and I can kinda see why. But I thought he was great.

I'll never forget his commentary on a Beardsley goal in a derby in the late 80s...

"Barnes............oh lovely backheel, McMahon, Aldridge, good challenge, BEARDSLEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY! OHHHHHHHHH THAT'S A LOVELY GOAL! THAT'S A LOVELY GOAL! And he even gets a kiss for it, from a man incidentally wearing a blue and white striped shirt!"

Haha **** yeah, just those images names. Smolarek, Boniek, Fenwick (he was so wank)....I'm sure it's mainly nostalgia but Mexico 86 seemed magical to me.

Maradona obviously played his part.

The bloke whooping in the background when Lineker puts England 1 up. Never forget that.

Mexico '86 was my 'first' world cup, not the first i was alive for, but the first i have any memory of, and i remember it vividly.

Those were the days of loving football as a kid, blissfully unaware of the ****e side to it

[Craig_H]

Davies' cry of "Magnificent goal!!!!" on the 2nd goal is just iconic

[dom9]

It will be really sad when motson stops commentating! he is football and has been a part of history!! amazing to think how long he has been doing it!

No it won't.

I'm not a great fan but that is classic. Did you quote that from memory?

Yeah me too.

Yep, watched it literally hundreds of times as a kid. Me and a mate used to recite to each other all the time.

[dom9]

Liverpool: The Mighty Reds video. me too. I remember that game so well still.
