Title should be “John Motson: Legendary commentator dies age 77” why not put his full name?

I'm surprised there are so few comments. He was THE football commentator in England for decades.

RIP

He's been the English spoken iconic commentator associated with British football scene as well as the world cup over an illustrious 50 year career. Really depends on when you actually started watching it but for many people in Europe especially the UK this is quite a sad day for football as he's Murray walker of football. Slice any major football match up over the last 40 years . He's probably commented on it and has been factual and clinical in his research and details into the match players and teams.

Might be worth researching him to understand more

Why are some of the comments hidden even though they have been upvoted a bit?

Even though I'm sure I watched a lot of games over the years of his commentary, the only vivid memory I have of him was from FIFA 97 on PS1.

Something like "Good evening this is John Motson and welcome to FIFA 97 Indoor soccer.".

I think it stuck with me cause it was one of the first Playstation games I played and the fact that it had indoor soccer was crazy to me at the time, and him saying his name was just attached to it in my memory.
