Sad news indeed, Roly and John Moore were a great double act.

Another Roly highlight I remember from 90s highlights videos: Barnsley at home, possibly 95/96. One of their players (maybe Darren Sheridan) has been moaning to the ref throughout the match. Late in the game he sliced a shot horribly wide. Roly: "Moan at that one!"  

There was also a good clip from a couple of years back of Roly at home watching our play-off final triumph, full of energy.

Thanks Roly, RIP.

I was sat just a seat or two along from Roly at Wembley when we beat Forest Green. It looked as though he wasn't with anyone (although I'm sure he'd come with someone!). We chatted briefly, he was happy to be in the crowd on a day like that, rather than on a gantry.

Loved the commentary , best ever for me. Biased, funny, passionate, RIP another legend gone. A legend leaves a real mark and chokes you on their passing.
He left a mark.

Peter Handysides the same utm


I always remember the one when Peschisolido launched Handyside into orbit in the home playoff game against fulham. You could feel his anger coming through. I think if he'd not been up on the Gantry he'd have been on the pitch to tell him what he thought.

Normally agree with that sentiment but a  minutes silence given his association with punditry and humour would seem odd on this one.
Imagine though a minutes silence finished with that Huddersfield clip on the big screen with commentary broadcast ..😍
