fetcheveryone Nov 2023 2:32pm, 21 Nov 2023 29,869 posts	0 fetcheveryone My dear old thing. Blowers is my favourite. And Agnew is that long-term connection through a few generations of teams that I find a reassuring presence. Of the more recent additions, I like Phil Tufnell and (if I'm not mistaken here), I enjoyed Kumar Sangakkara during the summer. Love the sound of Crozier's voice. Coney sounds like a laugh. In fact, every TMS on every continent brings with it voices that wrap me up in that place. It's lovely. The first person I remember doing a broadcast was Tony Lewis. I've no idea if he was any good, as I was probably in my early teens - but fond memories of his voice and presence on TV in 1985.
