Critics Review
“It is a privilege to be part of this excellent work” - Martin Tyler, English Football Commentator
“It is a privilege to be part of this excellent work” - Martin Tyler, English Football Commentator“There have been some brilliant lines of commentary down the years and Charlie’s academic deconstruction of them is terrific. I’m both grateful and incredibly flattered to be included. To share such lovingly compiled pages with Motson, Davies, Wolstenholme, Butler and Coleman feels almost impossible.” - Peter Drury, Lead Main Commentator for NBC Sports and former Lead Main Commentator for Premier League Productions.
