Legendary football commentator John Motson has sadly passed away aged 77.

Motty, the sheepskin coat-wearing icon voiced over 2,000 games including 29 FA Cup finals and 10 World Cups.

An iconic moment in his career came in the season he covered the memorable FA Cup replay between Hereford United and Newcastle United.

Non-league Hereford won 2-1 with Ronnie Radford scoring a winner that remains in folklore.

'Oh what a goal!'

RIP Motty. ⚽❤️
