Final Score - JAG RIP
« on: August 18, 2014, 10:45:21 pm »
The voice of my childhood Saturdays has passed away.  I am sure many of my fellow Reds will have been brought up on his dulcet tones reading the results at Saturday tea time.

God bless James Alexander Gordon, RIP.

Ahh that unmistakable voice.Brings back memories of those Saturday evenings in my childhood.

That right peg hits it and you see the future arc of the ball and time goes al gluey like a Dali painting, and for a second there's a 20yr old StevenGerrard and your young self cheering him on through the prism. His big smile fades in an the net is shivering and J.Hart's trying not to look grateful for the privilege of being that close to greatness

Now that is a loss.

Amazing how a voice on the radio/telly can have such a lasting effect.

May be just me, but I find the thread title a bit disrespectful. Could you not give him is full name?

Seeing as that is how his family, friends and colleagues referred to him I thought it was wholly appropriate.
