"Strangely, in slow motion replay, the ball seemed to hang in the air for even longer." - Murray Mexted
"Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw." - Murray Mexted
Hahaha. Not surprised.

He was ok when he commentated on a few matches in Durban, tho. Presumably found the outlandish act wasn't necessary.

Venue: Nou Camp stadium, May 1999, commentator Clive Tyldesley. Champions league final is in the 90th minute Bayern Munich lead Manchester United 1-0. United win a throw in deep in the German team's half. The board is held up it reads 3 (minutes of added time): Tyldesley: 'Base camp for a final assault'. And boy WAS it?

Two pearls of wisdom from Howard Wilkinson: 'I firmly believe that if we score one goal the opposition will need to score two goals to win.' And :'I think we will do well over the festive season, especially as Boxing day comes the day after Christmas day.'

Mark Jackson (NBA) has a few goodies, but they've become catch phrases more so than classic calls.

"Mama, there goes that man!"
"Hand down, man down!"

Stacey King on Derrick Rose multiple times in his MVP year: "Too big, too strong, too fast, too good!" :(
