Some great quotes from him on his wiki page

I think Ray French is an aweful commentator and the BBC presentation portray's Rugby League as an outdated quaint northern sport complete with flat cap and whippet. Why do they persist with him? He recently got awarded an OBE for services to the game, he's probably done more damage to viewing ratings than bringing back B&W TV's. I'd happily use the radio for commentary on challenge cup days but for the fact it's always about 4 seconds ahead and the radio's celebrating tries while your watching the last play the ball.

P.S
no offence to wearers of flat caps and whippet owners

Thats Brilliant! Think just about sums up his commentary capabilities.

My personal favourites:

"And if you take a closer look Alex, Rick Thackeray has gorra tremendous gash.... just above his 'ead."

"And there we see the sad sight of Martin Offiah limping off with a broken finger."

"And these superb pictures brought to us on this three-hundred and six-teeeee five degree camera...."

"He's going for the line!!" - if I had a penny for everytime he said that!
