7-2 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-30220020 He said: "My father told me that no matter how poor the game was, whether you were writing it, describing it on radio, or commentating on it, you must look for something worthwhile to talk about and do not be negative. And it was a thought that I always carried with me". With an attitude like that Arthur wouldn't have made it today. They'd also need to have a pre-programme warning...'The following programme contains flash photography and Arthur Montford's wearing one of his sports jackets.' He always came over as a genuine, decent guy so good to hear he was. Sad news of his death indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Surprised that Sally McNair when announcing his death on the 10.30 news tonight, didn't mention that she made her first TV appearance as a presenter/journalist on his programme back in the 70's.

Larbert_Par Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Loved the footage of the highlights of Pars' 61 cup final win there on Reporting Scotland. From the Czechoslovakia match: "Come on now Denis, come on Denis!" as Law bears down on goal. Magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 RIP Arthur Monford. A real gentleman and a legend of scottish football broadcasting. Takes me back to sitting watching scotsport on a Sunday afternoon in the early 80's with Arthur and Ian archer in the studio. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Like the idea of all teams running out the tunnel to the old scotsport theme. It would be completely different from a minutes applause or silence, and a unique tribute to the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Koop Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Arthur and Bob Crampsey were pretty much the dog's bollocks in Scottish sports broadcasting, along with Bill from Hawick. The words "It's four nothing" will resonate down the ages. Only the pale imitations and sock in mooth amateurs left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennysmassiveego Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Met him at a Glasgow golf club bar in the 2000,s A pleasure to talk to and still enthusiastic about Scottish football Makes our " modern" presenters look like the rank amateurs that they are.

andrewh Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Then we had Arthur Montford, Bob Crampsie and (a little reluctantly) Archie Macpherson. Now we have....... nobody worthy of mentioning next to those names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
