In those days, an unassuming football commentator in a sheepskin coat could walk straight into a team's hotel and chat with the players.

The football commentator comfortably identified a 'haircutter with rotation' and, more importantly, emerged relatively unflamed by social media.

He was also a television and radio football commentator.

He worked as a football commentator on television throughout the 1970s and as a radio commentator in the latter part of his life.

He currently works on television as a football commentator.
