Jimmy Armfield

[Rich Gobey]

Good to hear him back on the radio.

 

A voice of sanity to counter Alan Green's ranting.

[Crazy Horse]

Probably the best summariser of the lot.

[Stevie H]

Probably the best summariser of the lot.

i think that's mike ingham by a street.

 

but good to hear armfield back and well.

[Knox_Harrington]

Ingham's a commentator isn't he Steve? Regardless he verges on peerless.

 

Armfield is fantastic. Big Stan's pretty good as well.

[John am Rhein]

Armfield was always pretty good, although I haven't heard him for a few years now.

 

He was a bit anti Liverpool when we were successful, though.

 

Always remember he rated Harry Kewell very highly even when he'd just started playing for Leeds

[Gunga Din]

great to hear armfield back, always reminds me of the pre sky days and listening to midweek footie on the radio. BBC radio have some great commentary teams for most sports though

[Ostrich Man]

armfield is always great and collymore is getting better all the time.

 

 

claridge is a c*** though.

[The Hitman]

Knows his football,does Jimmy.

Claridge is a c*nt,agreed.Sounds like they've got that female commentator in,whenever he gets excited.Sometimes only dogs can hear him.

[ManxRed]

Don't know how true this story is but:

 

A prickly character, who hates criticism, Howard Wilkinson once walked into a press room while in charge at Hillsborough and asked reporters: "What the hell do you know about the game? How many caps have you lot won?" For once, the former schoolmaster was lost for words when Jimmy Armfield of Radio Five answered: "Fifty-seven, Howard."

 

 

 

 

 

Always makes me smile...

[Ostrich Man]

its a belter.

I love Armfield - my favourite summariser by a long way. Always talks sense, communicates very clearly on what he is seeing. Shows the rest of the useful twonks who attempt to do the same job for what they are. I mean, Steve Claridge. Not fit to lick Jimmy's a***. Though he should be made to eat s***.
