Goodbye Bill, what a great commentator you were, always cheering on great plays of rugby and knowing on hell of a lot about all the people on the park.
Your voice has been missed, now you will be.
Bill McLaren, the BBC's 'voice of rugby', dies, aged 86
Just looking at some of his quotes:
On Jonah Lomu: "I'm no hod carrier but I would be laying bricks if he [Jonah L] was running at me."
No more Voice of Rugby

One of the lines i remember him saying was "The ball's coming out of the back of the scrummage like chocolate bars from a slot machine!"
