That's sad.
Saw him once do an after dinner speech, very entertaining. He was the journalist for BBC's Sportsnight in the infamous "Grovel" interview with Tony Grieg in 1976.0 -
Bloody hell, that's a big shock. RIP0

One of the first commentators I remember from when I was little.

A great commentator.
I know have had a thread previously, but him and Barry Davies are the elite for me.

Damn! One of the very best. A voice that matched TV and belonged there. You know how Emma, the BBC woman, tries really hard to sound like a commentator? Gubba was the ultimate example of when a voice just...fits. Wish I'd told him that rather than random people on a forum. Live and learn...0

Very sad news, he was the commentator who could commentate on anything, but never got the big events.
Did we play a weakened team?Oakster said:
