And what a pleasure it was to hear him. Never a shouter, I always had the feeling with Helm that it was almost like he was in your room commentating.

I can't say I know who is he, but I enjoyed it.

Still prefer John Edwards and Brian 😊

He once came up with this great line: "Every time I see Clive Lloyd he looks more like Paddington Bear!"

I'd just like to add I enjoyed the commentary to the extent that it ameliorated for the loss.

I do think that our season ended today though

Lovely comment!

(and, yes, the play offs are now realistically and sadly out of reach...but still a better season than I think any of us could have expected)

One of the lads used to use it as the last line of his chant

Aardvark, Aardvark, wiirrrkk wirrkkk wiirkkk

But I cannot remember who the lad was, others may remember.
