Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan announced as new MOTD presenters

Do young people watch Match of the Day? Highlights are available as soon as a game finishes nowadays. I assumed their viewership was diminishing.
 
The only man for the job. Has a background in sports reporting, a BBC veteran of 30+ years, at home on live broadcasts, no skeletons in his closet*

Smell my cheese ya mother
 
Decent lineup that, especially Kelly & Gabby both always come across really well.

I'd imagine if they're like me, they will watch highlights of a win many times. And not at all if United get beat.

A good question, I suspect not. Probably watch on youtube I would have thought.

His commentary of the 1994 WC still makes me laugh.

“SHIT!!” :lol:
 
He's very very good. Crazy how he's not really promoted enough.
I'm surprised he's not on more stuff, maybe it's his personal choice, but he's quite clearly head and shoulders above the majority of pundits out there. Maybe he doesn't fit what broadcasters want or think people are interested in, but it's a shame. He's genuinely great.
