Fondly referred to as “Motty,” Motson called games for Britain’s national broadcaster from 1968-2018, covering 10 World Cups, 10 European Championships and 29 FA Cup finals.

Legendary BBC Sport commentator John Motson recalls a classic interview from 1979, in which a prickly Brian Clough gave a young Motty a hard time.

Mr. Motson, often known by his nickname, “Motty,” was born on July 10, 1945, in Salford, England.
