Vale Tony Charlton

Perhaps the one who set the ball rolling for many Australian sports commentators.

R.I.P.

I was brought up on a diet of Mike Williamson, Doug Heywood, Geoff Leek, Graham Dawson and Norman Banks calling footy. The best of them all was Tony Charlton with his golden tonsils.

My very first football memories as a kid are of watching Tony Charlton and his football panel every Saturday night talking about the days six games of footy. What a great man.

May he Rest In Peace.
