- His commentary on Ronnie Radford’s goal for Hereford United against Newcastle strengthened BBC bosses’ trust; five years later, he covered the 1977 FA Cup final.
- Motson coined the nickname Crazy Gang in 1988 after Wimbledon defeated league champions Liverpool in the FA Cup final.
You and your colleagues are turning us off from family entertainment on Saturday night by lecturing us as the moment. I think what you do to referees is nothing short of criminal.— Brian Clough, Nottingham Forest manager, during a 1979 on-air clash with Motson
