He was one of the best all round sports commentators , rest in peace David Coleman.
He was the best,especially on the footy,with Harry carpenter a close

David Coleman had that passion for everything he did whether it was commentating or doing Question of Sport .

I do wonder whether the BBC will show some classic Question of Sport programmes now .
