Art of Radio Sport Commentary: Humour
As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of sports radio commentary on the Âé¶¹Éç, enjoy a selection of comical moments down the years, including the famous ‘leg over’ incident featuring Brian Johnston and Jonathan Agnew from Test Match Special in 1991.
You’ll also hear Alan Green describing a furry pitch invader at Arsenal, plus the occasion when Alan himself was the subject of a stadium announcement midway through a commentary!
As well as these clips, you’ll also hear the response of Norwegian commentator Bjorge Lillelien to Norway’s 2-1 win over England in 1981, which has become one of the most well-known pieces of sports commentary.
Hear more during 90 Years of Âé¶¹Éç Radio Sport Commentary, which will be broadcast on Thursday 12 January 2017.
