No one can ever be a patch on Murray walker. I adored that man for his passionate commentary, knowledge, amusing gaffs and all round likeability.

Slightly more niche interest, but Raymond Brookes-Ward or Lucinda Green for 3 day eventing.

Definiteky Jonners for cricket with Agnew and Blofeld. Search for "couldn't quite get his leg over", and remember the good times.
