We’re sorry but we just think Parry is a bit too opinionated to be a commentator, often harshly criticising players. He currently works for Sky Sports but is rarely heard doing Premier League matches these days.
Mann has a very distinctive voice and has worked on BBC television since 2006. He’s also heard on BT Sport since 2013.
Probably better known as the voice of Robot Wars, some consider Pearce to be one of the greatest. But like Parry, we feel he’s just a bit opinionated. And who can forget that time he couldn’t understand goal-line technology…
BT Sport’s main commentator for the last few years is one of the best around right now. He’s synonymous with Champions League football in England.
Champion has been there and done it. A proper commentator legend but he just lacks those memorable moments that some of the others further down the list have produced.
Some say he’s the greatest. Some can’t stand him. Whatever your opinion, you can’t deny that ‘AGUEROOOO’ piece of commentary is probably the best the Premier League has ever heard.
Another commentator that some may say deserves to be much higher - maybe even No.1. But we feel Motson lost his magic in his latter years and fell out of touch with the modern game. The way he all too often shouted 'OH' in surprise slightly grated on us. We still love you, Motty.
The job of a radio commentator is so much tougher than a TV commentator because you really have to paint the picture. Mike Ingham did that brilliantly on BBC Radio 5 Live from 1977–2014.
Probably BBC 5 Live’s most famous commentator. Doesn’t his voice just take you back to your childhood and listening to the football on the radio because Sky didn’t exist?
