For certain generations of fans, John Motson was the voice of football.
A mainstay of BBC's Match of The Day for 50 years, the Salford-born broadcaster became a staple of British football from the early 1970s until his retirement in 2018.
Motson along with Barry Davies and Brian Moore, was a trailblazer in his craft. Everyone that has followed in the decades since built upon the groundwork laid by Motson and his contemporaries.
