    Yes - what a gent AND a great sports commentator!
    Started out with Eamonn Andrews all those years ago - the voice of sport for SO many years with the Beeb - so knowledgable, witty and quick, be it boxing, soccer, athletics, swimming, etc etc!
    A real loss to us - RIP Harry - 'know what I mean'?

    I can't think of a current sports commentator that comes close to matching Harry.

    Sad to hear of his passing, but he had a few good rounds...
