Horrible news. An iconic voice.
RIP John Motson
What a shock. What a legendary commentator.
Wow , what a shock
Apart of the game just died for me. Thanks for the memories John.
Bloody hell.
Very sad to see this.
RIP Motty
Ah man, iconic voice indeed. RIP Motty
Legend
My earliest memory of him would be playing FIFA on the ps2 when I was just getting into football in the early 2000’s. Him and McCoist being the commentators.
50 years of commentating is absolutely incredible. What a life he lived he oversaw so many incredible eras, teams, matches.
Truly an iconic voice.
The voice of football for me growing up - RIP MOTTY ?!
Covered 10 World Cups! Can’t be many that can make that claim.
That’s really sad, 77 is no age at all.
RIP John Motson
The real voice of football.
RIP john motson. Sad day
Not only the best commentator but probably the most respected by both players and managers.
This is a voice we’ve all grown up with .

Absolute legend. RIP.
The first commentator I ever heard on a football video game. RIP
77 is nothing these days, especially for a wealthy person. These things happen but I feel very slightly in shock, I didnt hear anything about failing health.
True legend of the game.
“Oh Ballack!” will always be one of my favourite funny bits of commentary, the way he couldn’t hide his annoyance at being denied the opportunity to see a quality goal will never not make me smile.
