babsparling Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Disappointed with the throw away by Nigel Pearson commentating at this afternoon's meeting at Poole about the passing of Tony Millard. He was a Sky Sports colleague after all. Shame on you Pearson. RIP Tony. Great entertainment and will be sadly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I thought that race of Tony commentating was awesome,so was Gollob. And that race showed how awesome a talent TG has been over a long period anyway going back to Tony he was pretty good on the footy as well.!

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 People will always disagree about the qualities of commentators but you must be doing something right to be as memorable as Tony Millard. Multi sport knowledgeable and a uniquely honed style set him above the norm in his field. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ommer Mon Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I only met Tony once. That was at Cradley when he squeezed into a corner of the Referee's Box to do a radio commentary for the BBC (yes the BBC - those were the days) on a Test match. A real gent and good company if only for one afternoon. His commentaries always added colour and some amusement to the coverage. A sad loss to the Sport. Must go now "work to do!". RIP Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Pearson and Tatum are not in the same class as tony, I thought millard was quality and will be missed RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiegal Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Just thought his detractors, would be delighted to know that his funeral was attended by well over 300 people. Chapel was full, outside was full, many people heard teh service from teh Car Park. Lavish eulogys from experienced senior people from BBC..Sky..Newspapers...Sussex County Cricket, Brighton FC..etc..etc. Extremely moving, the old boy was plainly held in High esteem by people of judgement and knowledge. as they said..quiet he was not, enthusiastic he for sure was, with a deep love for his Cricket,Football and speedway. Only hope when I turn up my Toes, people will think as highly of me. Top Man Millard, you certainly were a One Off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
