RIP Bill McLaren

Commentator Bill McLaren, known popularly as the "voice of rugby", has died at the age of 86.



This guy knocked the performance of many other Sports Commentators not only into a cocked hat, but kicked the cocked hat into oblivion.

Superb Broadcasting voice always with the right amount and type of emphasis.

I missed him when he retired some years ago.

Who do we get now?

Brian Moore.

Nuff said.

A sad loss to rugby when he retired, a very sad loss to his family, friends and admirers alike today.

RIP Bill.

My thoughts are the same as securespark's.

But serious

Not only a fine commentator but a good coach too.

Thanks for some wonderful memories

“He’s like a demented ferret up a wee drainpipe.”

RIP Bill.
