2 'Suddenly Ali looks very tired indeed, in fact Ali, at times now, looks as though he can barely lift his arms up... Oh he's got him with a right hand! He's got him! Oh you can't believe it. And I don't think Foreman's going to get up. He's trying to beat the count. And he's out! OH MY GOD he's won the title back at 32! Muhammad Ali!'
Said by Harry Carpenter
When Muhammad Ali beat George Foreman in Oct 1974
When Ali's rope-a-dope tactic exploded into life in the eighth round few people could believe their eyes, least of all it seemed Harry Carpenter. Just as he suspected Ali was teetering on the verge of defeat, a thunderous right hand did the unthinkable. Shouting to be heard above the din in Zaire, Carpenter's is one of the few pieces of sports commentary that does justice to the moment being described.
3 'He didn't quite manage to get his leg over...'
Said by Jonathan Agnew
When England v W Indies, 1991
After an attempted hook Ian Botham spun and became unbalanced as he tried to step over his wickets to avoid standing on them - but in narrowly failing to do so Beefy brushed the leg-stump with his inner thigh and was out. Agnew's gag, while sat alongside Brian Johnston in the radio booth, was the cause of much juvenile sniggering. 'Do stop it Aggers!' Johnston was heard to splutter in the background while struggling to stifle his laughter. Reduced to tears the pair were barely able to talk for several minutes. Not everyone was amused though and they were, in true schoolboy fashion, banned from commentating together again.
4 'And Desert Orchid's beginning to get up as they race towards the line. There's a tremendous cheer from the crowd as Desert Orchid's gonna win it. DESERT ORCHID has won the Gold Cup. Yahoo is second. Charter Party is third. Simon Sherwood punches the air. Dessie's done it...'
Said by Peter O'Sullevan
When Cheltenham Gold Cup, 1989
Not usually one to get too carried away, even O'Sullevan lost his cool amid the drama of Desert Orchid's Gold Cup win. Heavy ground and Cheltenham's stamina-sapping hill had never suited Dessie, yet as the grey improbably started to edge his way in front O'Sullevan sensed victory and with the rest of the crowd stood to roar the people's favourite home.
5 'It is only twelve inches high... It is solid gold... And it undeniably means England are the champions of the world.'
Said by Kenneth Wolstenholme
When England were crowned world champions, 1966
Not the 'they think it's all over... it is now' line you might expect from that match, but surely superior to the one that has become a tired cliche. Wolstenholme once told The Observer's Will Buckley that he was much prouder of this line than the more famous one because it was replayed at Bobby Moore's memorial service in 1993. Which is good enough for us.
