Was it Ted Lowe who said 'for those of you with black & white Tv's, the pink is behind the blue'

Slight tangent but the ' SLTV: Man of Steel Awards 2010 ' on a popular video site now has subtitles available. Switch them on and see how wrong they get it!

Sorry people its a wendyball one.

Possibly the most enthusiastic commentary ever

"Clyde 1 Commentary: Mcfadden goal V France"

You know where

'Thats one tonne of rugby you're looking at there... beef, brawn, muscle...The lot of it!'

Eddie Waring on a typical RL scrum

'That's St. Helens', Frankie Barrow tackling Leigh's, Leatherbarrow... No relation'

EW...

'He's going for the corner... yes and 'ees in, yes, eee's in...the little man's in!' [or words to that effect

Ray French on Jamie Sandy scoring a try for Cas in 1986

'ooohhh and Sonny Nickle on a bollocking run'

Ray French

'and suddenly!'

Virtually every game RF comentates on

[i"And there was Steve 'Audi Quattro' Smith!"[/i

[i"20 minutes from the line!"[/i

[i"His hands in his 'air!"[/i

[i"It's rough, it's tough, it's Rugby League!"[/i

[i"This big, blonde-haired prop, all 6 ft 9 of him!"[/i

Thick St. Helens accent - "Now Den" every time someone makes halfa break.

You forgot....OOF!!!

"Now den, Cunnnnninghaaamm, from acting half."

and "it had to be" or "it's a Taarrrryyyyy!!!!" or "he goes forward with his bald head" as if he might leave his bald head behind in other circumstances.

One of my favourites was when Stuart Fielden had a clear run to the line for GB against Australia, when he had his ankle tapped. "GET UP FIELDEN" shouted Eddie.

Non RL, but does anyone remember Harry Carpenter forgetting his BBC hat when Frank Bruno smacked Mike Tyson one? "Fighting back now Bruno AND HE'S HURT HIM! He's hurt Tyson! GET IN THERE, FRANK!!!"

Similarly, Brian's first stint as in journalism was as a touchline reporter for some local BBC tinpot station. Commentator asked him how it was on the touchline - Brian's reply was "I'm freezin me nuts off". Said in his Irish accent, it was hilarious.

Later on, commentator spied a subsitution and asked Brian to elaborate. Brian's reply was "I don't know I can't see a thing." Commentator asked him what he meant and he replied "Put it this way, Paul Anderson's just stood up right in front of me, and when you got a man 'dat soize' in front of you, you wouldn't be able to see a thing either"
