From a time before t'internet when you had to tune in to find out the scores. Loved trying the guess the 2nd score in a game just from his tone on the 1st team.

Rest in Peace sir.
Ditto, Tel. Great memories of Saturday teatime after consumption of hot crumpets dripping with butter in front of the fire.
Remember when I was entrusted with the daily paper & pen to take down said results....Wasn't allowed to post them directly on the football coupon in case I messed up!
I knew he hadn't been well but it still comes as a shock. One of the football voices of my childhood. No one could do the results quite like him. A sad loss. RIP.
Oh man that's really sad news. So many Saturday afternoons as a kid rushing back to my grandads car after the match to hear JAG reading out the scores. Another good one gone. RIP

Sleep tight, JAG.
Hearing the cheery voice and knowing you won, or the depressed one and being gutted you lost.
An institution and a true gent. RIP JAG.
Such a shame the beeb can't teach Charlotte Green how to properly use intonation the way he did.
RIP
RIP
Nice piece on F365;
