The wit & wisdom of Johnners - lovebabes56 - 19-08-2019 19:23
I don't think there has been a thread dedicated to 'Jonners's wit & wisdom. I am still amazed that the was broadcasting for nearly 50 years and I think many of us have at on time tuned in to TMS to listen to him.
Next January will mark the anniversary of his death but I thought it would be nie start sharing our favourite Jonners moments.
So to open (shem) i'll begin with that all - time classic:
The Batsman's Holding, The Bowler's Willey. There are times I remember tuning in to hearing him and do remember tuning in once and through tears of laughter he was trying to read the score out.
I have to simply say that they don't make commmentators like Jonners any more and to me he was the sound of summer to me.
We still miss you Jonners

Best stuff was him and Aggers making each other laugh in that memorable broadcast-I think Botham had remove a bail as he hopped over it and someone made a ball gag which set Johnners off. I also loved his descriptions of cake being sent to TMS, a tradition which is still continued today.
