A truly great sports broadcaster R.I.P

[Jacqui Harvey]

Agreed.  A thoroughly nice man and a great sports commentator.

Here are the Top 21 Colemanballs that he'll be forever remembered for.

His best attribute was the fact that he got excited about things just like we did. Before him I don't remember anyone doing it quite as well. And such a warm host on A Question of Sport.

And all the gaffs, God bless you David  

[Highlander]

Apparently he wasn't best pleased when reminded of Colemanballs.

But then again why would he be.

[Scunner]

I said on Facebook that I thought he died some years ago, so imagine my surprise today...

Part of that was the change in Private Eye from "Colemanballs" to "Commentatorballs", as it is today. And some very funny people contribute to that (   )

He really got us excited,with his commentaries,over the years.
R.i.p David,

First I've heard about this.  Very sad news.  A great commentator.

RIP David Coleman and condolences to his family.
