    From Plague's first point he's right:

    You'd obviously put Richie Benaud in the same bowl but prob no other media figure repped their sport better yeah
    But the thread went at a different tangent and we have been talking about commentators synonymous with their sport.

    And I well remember Vince M being a commentator through the 80's before he bought the major stake and made his family the Osbourne's of wrestling.

    No, my point was great.
    The thread derailed when the good Member, as per usual, said something silly and instead of joining me in calling him out you all let him suck you down into one of his tangent holes.

    Which, by the way, is a brilliant trick the Member routinely pulls off but I'm too #woke for that.

    We really need a wrestling thread so we can discuss the greatest professional wrestler of all time.

    He was a great man and one of the loudest voices for civil rights long before it became popular.

    I have Full Moon Fever and the Wilburys stuff so will be missed.

    His Chrissy song is pretty much a standard too.

    Hang on - he's not quite dead!

    George Young died the other day - he was 70 years old. Responsible for some great songs and helped to put Aussie Rock on the map. Great guitarist as well - some classic riffs.

    Only just heard about this last night - as a major Australian songwriter and producer and eldest of the Young brothers I thought there would be more coverage.

    Always liked this one:

    Malcolm Young has passed away. One of the greatest guitarists in history and a true innovator as well who influenced millions of guitarist all over the world.
    A very tough time for the Young family given they also recently lost George as well.
