Chelsea, Liverpool and Barcelona have all been involved in games featuring some of the most iconic pieces of commentary ever to come in our ears.
The commentary can make or break how – and for how long – a goal is remembered. Words can make a huge difference in adding the goosebumps after moments of football brilliance.
From Sky’s main man Martin Tyler through to the lesser-known Ray Hudson, commentators have produced some stunning moments over the years. Here’s our pick of the bunch.
England vs Argentina – Victor Hugo Morales
In one of the most significant games in World Cup history, Diego Armando Maradona produced one of the greatest bits of cheating of all time followed by the greatest goal of all time and sent his team flying towards the ultimate glory.
Fortunately for those back in Diego’s native land, they were treated to a bit of commentary just as good as the goal itself.
Even if you can’t understand Morales’ words, the delivery will give you goosebumps. But fortunately for us, some dedicated soul on the internet has subtitled the clip as well.
Beautiful stuff.

In the 82nd minute, Kostas Manolas headed in from a corner to send Roma through on away goals. Drury’s commentary is a thing of beauty.
“The unthinkable unfolds before our eyes!” 😳
Commentary that will make your hairs stand on end, on a night when more Roman history was made 🇮🇹
