peasy23 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 He went on 15 years- at least- too long as a commentator but him and Alex Hay were the voices I associated growing up watching the Masters and the Open. I was surprised it was a solo, making a late top ten push. Alex Hay had the good sense to know when to retire. Alliss was never going to retire and nobody at the BBC had the balls to tell him his time was up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's two down, and maybe another two to go afore the 2022 starting line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
