[cite]Posted By: Stone[/cite]Bloody hell, where did that come from? This bloke commented on dozens of different sports and had (to have) a good knowledge of them all.
Getting a bit worrying is this: people you grew up with falling of the perch quite regularly. David Vine always came across as cool and calm and very knowledgeable whatever sport he was commentating on. RIP.
Original presenter of QofS. I wonder what he made of the awful show it is now?
The BBC had him and the likes of Coleman and Carpenter. True pros. What do we have now Adrian Chiles and host of ex-sportsman who are either wooden or just in it to fuel their inflated egos.
[quote][cite]Posted By: Covered End[/cite]Who remembers Quiz ball ? He hosted that as well I believe.[/quote] I remember Quiz Ball, a great game someone should bring it back! David Vine was brilliant, I always envied him buggering off to the snow for Ski Sunday, what a job! The claibre of commentators/reporters has dropped, a shame.

Gawd rest him.
Heart attack aged 73.
Grew up watching him on pretty well anything to do with sport...

Ditto, very sad indeed.
