    A very professional commentator but with a wonderful sense of humour, sad news indeed. RIP.

    There are people whose love for what they do comes through everytime you hear them , Arry was one of those.

    The rumble in the jungle - absolute classic commentary!

    Another part of my childhood gone. Loved Harry on Sportsnight on a Wednesday, boxing, a bit of athletics and the odd football highlight. You appreciated sport on TV more in those days as it wasn't saturated coverage.
    Can see him now standing in front of the massive manual BBC leader board for the Open during the summer holidays. Happy memories.

    ...sorry mate but I always thought Reg Gutteridge was the better commentator.

    One of the old school and as Chirpy says, another part of the childhood gone.

    On a lighter note, there was that great handover once from Frank Bough, who said "And now over to your carpenter, Harry Commentator!"

    Classic..

    BlackForest - probably only Richie Benaud and Peter Aliss left of the old school now. And Motson if you count him, though never a fan personally.

    My favourite quote from Harry Carpenter

    "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew"

    Boat Race, 1977


    RIP
