RIP Sir Peter 'o' Sullivan

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 20:15:38 GMT

Whilst I've been logged out, a man who was the iconic voice of BBC horse racing has passed away ... Sir Peter 'o' Sullivan who commentated upon eg Red Rum winning his 3rd Grand National, & I believe had great pleasure & delight at commentating upon his own horse winning a classic race ... once upon a time the BBC had the best in tv sport coverage, & this man was up there amongst the greats

If anyone can put up a blue link I'd be grateful, thank you
