RIP Motty on 12:58 - Feb 23 with 2532 views | franniesTache | Really sad news, I don't know why given the amount of games he did but i always associate his voice with Italia 90, and in particular the semi final against Germany. Have to say with Dickie Davis gone, and now Motty gone those voice of my youth are dropping one by one. | ![](/images/avatars/13008.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

RIP Motty on 12:16 - Feb 24 with 2047 views | Chesham_Saint | I had a long chat with him after a match at the Dell when he was in the Directors' lounge. Nice guy, very complimentary about Saints whilst remaining suitably neutral. Liked a glass of red wine or two as well... His 'rivalry' with Barry Davies at the time reminded me of the Shilton/Clemence competition to be England's no 1 with Shilts edging it - Just like Motson did. Anyway, seemed a really pleasant guy and should have been around much longer. | ![](/images/avatars/1775.gif) |
