James Alexander Gordon forced into retirement after treatment for cancer of the larynx.
Who will read the football results now? He had that unique delivery style that enabled you to predict the result before the the end of each phrase.
Liverpool 1, Tottenham Hotspur --lost.

One thing's for sure, it won't ever be as good as he made it. Hope he has a long and happy retirement.

R2 were talking about this at lunch time, people were phoning in and were played the first bit of James Alexander Gordon reading a result, they had to guess what the second result was, most got it right :lol:
Sad news today, poor guy didn't have much time to enjoy his retirement.
Always will be in my memories. RIP
