Football commentary is something i'd love to do one day professionally. As a result, i pay a lot of attention to the commentators and what they're saying. Sometimes more than the match itself.
Of those commentating on games now, Martin Tyler and Jon Champion are my two favourites. Tyler for his knowledge of the game and i love many of his calls of the big moments that happen. Champion's BBC training is evident; doesn't talk too much during a match, speaks when he feels he needs to. Nothing wrong with silence in TV commentary. I've only Barry Davies's commentary via highlights but his commentary was also excellent.
Peter Drury gives me the absolute shits sometimes as he often tries too hard to show everybody how eloquent he thinks he is. Tony Jones has an awful voice IMO as does Stewart Gardner from MUTV. I'll give Gardner some credit, he's biased and that's a compliment as that's his job.
