Cor, Ryan Giggs, you know? Giggsy, isn't it? Mmm? Giggsy-Wiggsy? Mmm? Oh! Ryan-y Giggsy-Wiggsy. Isn't it? You know, marvellous.

As a kid I was watching TV with my parents and the continuity announcer meant to say 'and for those of you up at 11 tonight will be in for a fair share of grumble and groan' (International Wrestling) but it came out as 'grumble and grunt'. As cockneys, we were amused.

"Oh, he's got him with a right hand, oh you can't believe it… Ali's doing his shuffle and I don't think Foreman's going to get up… he's trying to beat the count… and he's out! Oh my God, he's won the title back at 32! He took on Foreman at his own game and he beat him at it!"

That Danny Hart one is my all time favourite...but rugby fans of a particular vintage surely enjoyed this Butler and Moore classic.

Shave away Gavin!!

Way back when in the 70's Tyne Tees Television had a Sunday afternoon football highlights programme called "Shoot"
Newcastle had a centre forward called Paul Cannell ..
Wolstenholme's commentary went along the lines of ..In comes the cross and there's a shot and it's a goal f' Cannell.."
Another that made me titter..oooerr missus.. was I think David Coleman commentating on a European Athletics championship final in which their was a sprinter called Koch .. * and Koch's pulling away " made a schoolboy giggle

What makes that Castleford v Wigan clip even better? Yes that’s right*, it’s Dickie Bird commentating

*ah imagine if it was and that’s what he was really like

JOOONNNNEEEESSSS

And one with Walker claiming nothing could stop Mansell now, shortly before a tire falls off, or the car catches fire, or he runs out of fuel, you know the drill!
