Question Who is the next BBC Essex Commentator?

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the obvious choice and as is a Fellow countryman of our Saviour
should have no problem recruiting him.
Billy Birmingham
He could cover both SUFC and Essex CC equally well and would have no problems with pronouncing any of the err! less easy names that appear on team sheets.
 
David Brett wouldn’t be a bad choice, mainly covered Braintree and Chelmsford games in the past and has done commentary for us before. I think he still works for BBC Essex sport.

Oh indeed the 12th Man an absolute legend & definitely not PC in these days
"Canary yellow? that's Australian gold my friend and don't you F**king forget it!"

He did indeed do a lesser know bit of football commentary which was a belter as well. Parental guidance advised.......😇
"And here comes the Australian substitute Smith, I hope I pronounced that correctly. Smith on for the injured Sonofabitch, who's gone off for a stitch after a bit of a grim sitch-uation...bit of a nasty knockovitch"
"Australia fournilski now ....England in deep ****ski" 🤣🤣

Brave Man Hooly.
I was going to put in a cricket name check commentary but was afraid an Inquisitive Mod would spot an indiscretion and have me black balled!

I went for the safer option @GROWLER. They'll remove it if they see fit.

Those commentaries are some of the funniest things I've ever heard & even the guys like Grieg & Lawrie loved them.
