To be honest I thought he was already deceased

Sports fans may remember him from the TV sports coverage, Grandstand, Sportsnight and Question of Sport.

Famous for his 'balls' as well as anything else I guess..'Coleman balls' that is

Apparently he covered 11 Olympic Games

RIP David

Announced during the Saturday afternoon sporting programmes- quite apt.
Yet more memories of winter afternoons cabined up, entering into betting competitions with m'Dad, whilst Mum was getting her hair done.
"Quite remarkable!" That was his catchphrase. Great commentator! Happy days!

I love an unscripted phrase from the heart.

"Quite remarkable" was great.

Up and coming is,

"Unbelieveable Jeff" from Chris Kamara

All I can think of is his Spitting Image puppet. Great commentator though.

Several fond memories of his commentaries – particularly from the Olympics… and of him as the presenter of QofS!

RIP
