    As an American it was rare moments that I was able to hear him back in the day. But his involvements with the FIFA video games were fantastic and made an indelible impression to me. You lost a great man my UK friends.

    I met John outside Stamford Bridge after a game, I spotted him heading to the underground car park in his sheepskin coat. He said he was in a rush but he took the time to stand there and pose for a photo with me, a photo I’ll always cherish. R.I.P Motty x

    Brian Moore, John Motson and Clive Tyldsey were the best in football commentary. RIP Motty.

    To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.

    We all can't forget the "Aguerooooo" scream when Aguero scored at the last minute in 2012 for Man City to win the league. Rest in peace legend.

    "The Crazy Gang have beaten the Culture Club." – My first memory of the great mans commentary. A vopice that would be with us for the next 35 years or so, both watching the football and before being immortalised in video game form. RIP

    When the original Wimbledon (now MK Dons) defeated an already-crowned league winners Liverpool back in 1988, John Motson made this iconic word: "the Crazy Gang have beaten the Culture Club".
    Also, when England failed to qualify for Euro 2008, Motson said that it was a "big desolation for Wembley".
