RIP Tony Gubba

[Roo]

Just heard on the news that Tony Gubba has died.

He was still comentating on dancing on ice up until a few weeks ago.

Another familiar BBC voice gone. he was a regular on Match of the Day for years.

[RESSE]

That is sad news.

I always liked Tony's reports.

69 is no age at all. Another familiar face and voice that will be missed.

[Fastra]

Part of my growing up tapestry.
Great voice and so synonymous with so many sports, I loved his warmth and he always seemed to have a great enthusiasm for what ever he did.

That's a real shame, grew up listening to his match reports in the 70's and 80's. A far more coherent and a less excitable version of Motty.

[Meeja]

He was only a very average commentator, particularly compared to the likes of Barry Davies.... But I did OB work a few times on gigs that Tony was working on, and he was a delightfully friendly chap, which made a pleasant change from some.

RIP Tony.

Is it wrong that all I can think of now is Antonios Gubba from the Fast Show?
