a man who was one of the greats of European football.
One of the greatest defences of European football was that of AC Milan, which won European Cups and Serie A's.
And he was the captain of Italy, came back from a knee injury to captain Italy in the final of the World Cup in 1994.
And a one-club man throughout his career, a man who embodied everything that's good about the sport of professional football.
What they had for breakfast.
It drives me bonkers at times.
Like a pre-written line that they knew.
Where do you fall on the debate of commentators giving their own opinions on things?
Because we're actually having this debate in the office where a lot of modern commentators...
it's almost like a podcast at times between himself and the co-commentator whereas if you listen back to some of the older style it's very much calling what you see on the pitch as opposed to what you think the player should be doing on the pitch.
I'm looking forward to the football because it's the World Cup.
And ever since I was a child, when Northern Ireland got to the World Cup in 1958, there was no television coverage.
And I would read about it in the newspaper.
The Belfast Telegraph came through the door in the evening.
And all my World Cup experience, because it was Northern Ireland, because I got to see them as a kid once a year at Windsor Park.
This was just something sensational.
And I devoured every word.
And I think that's probably...
The match reporting of the sports editor of the Belfast Telegraph, Malcolm Brodie, that made me want to become a sports journalist.
Initially a print journalist, and then I saw it in 1962, and then I wanted to be a commentator.
