It's difficult to imagine a time when John Motson wasn't commentating. It's almost as difficult to imagine a time when John Motson's commentary didn't stand out as the worst thing in televised football. But back in the 80s he was only as bad as everyone else. 30 years later football fans are looking back on a good 15 years of crying out for him to be shot. He's gone from being a bit silly to being an odious lazy git who can't be bothered to learn the names of players who aren't already all over the media. Even the names of players he's heard of he rarely bothers to try to pronounce correctly.
