Hazel Irvine by a mile for me. Knowledgeable, modest and knows how to comduct an interview. She's not obsessed about her profile.

Has to be Micah Richards, brings out the joy in all the other ones. However, the Carragher/Neville dynamic is and has always been hilarious5

Always liked Steve Ryder, not for the Charlton connections on the BBC
Jeff Stelling and Scott Minto (again no Charlton bias) as well...
The latter was excellent covering the EFL and should never have been replaced in that role
Favourite pundit is probably Don Goodman, really good voice for EFL games3 -
Fave pundit for me is Ally McCoist by a mile. Insightful, funny and you can tell he just loves football!
Worst: Alan Smith... boring as shit. There are some stinkers that come close though!3 -
Nasser Hussain has done some fantastic presentation work away from the commentary booth2

Laura Woods, I'm not sure why though.6

She’s legitimately a very good presenter.Penfolds Perm said:Laura Woods, I'm not sure why though.
Presenter: still think Lineker takes some beating.Pundits: Alex Scott, McCoist, Aluko and Pat Nevin1 -
Totally agree. Beautiful voice never stumbles her words or ums and ahhs. Very knowledgeable as well as extremely pleasing on the eye.The Red Robin said:

Orla Chennaoui and Ned Boulting for Cycling … both excellent5

The one that only says ‘Hello, here’s the action’.0

Plus her breakfast show rapport with McCoist is great.Penfolds Perm said:

I really struggle with Alex Scott - find her hard to listen to. Her voice really grates on me...The Red Robin said:

Bianca Westwood with Jeff Stelling. 😀⚽️2

I know he's just hung up the mic - but no one comes close to the legendary Michael Holding.5

It must be a generational thing. Richards isn't a sports presenter, he a very annoying pundit.Foxycafc said:Has to be Micah Richards, brings out the joy in all the other ones. However, the Carragher/Neville dynamic is and has always been hilarious
Google or Youtube Harry Carpenter / David Coleman etc for proper sports presenters...6 -
McCoist, Aluko, Nevin fair enough. Scott?? Complete inability to communicate and present what might be good knowledge. Lineker wasn't great when he started but he developed quickly. Scott is still struggling after several years.The Red Robin said:

A lot of presenters/pundits have next to no knowledge of sport in general - come across as lazy and not interested. Carpenter and Coleman both knew their stuff.SporadicAddick said:

Too many presenters/pundits now seem more concerned with their own profile. The level of ignorance stuns me on occasions.

Mark Chapman, used to really annoy me in his Radio 1 days, but for me he has the perfect balance as host, not too serious but not too straight, asks questions that bring the best out of whatever panel he has, and clearly does his homework on whatever sports he covers.8
-
Go along with Chappers, Ola and Ned from ITV cycling, and of course Scott Hanson who does NFL Redzone0

Pundits -
Keane
Ferdinand
Aaron Mclean (Can not understand why ain't on more, across the channels)

Jeff Stelling as a presenter. I like Mark Chapman too. Don't listen to Laura Woods radio show but on TV she comes across as incredibly wooden so never understood the fuss.

Find her very lightweight and bland as a presenter.AllHailTheHen said:Jeff Stelling as a presenter. I like Mark Chapman too. Don't listen to Laura Woods radio show but on TV she comes across as incredibly wooden so never understood the fuss.1 -
There are a few. Colin Murray, although very excitable, is very knowledgeable. Gary Lineker is annoyingly good.
Laura Woods is one of the best in my opinion. Nothing to do with her looks (although that's bonus), she's just a very good presenter.
Hazel Irvine on Snooker & Jackie Oakley on darts are both very good.
I cannot stand Alex Scott, I think she's dreadful.2 -

I think Kelly Cates is very good. Understated and lets the guests/pundits do most of the work.5
