Sad news this morning that legendary Grandstand presenter Frank Bough has passed away.. went off the rails a bit one time, but that’s another of my childhood memory makers gone.
RIp FrankBut I didn't like him much as a sports presenter. Much too smooth and calm. Didn't seem very passionate about any of the sport he was commenting on.

He might have said Doncaster have scored again or a second and Oswestry are now losing 2-0. I did say he said something like. It was about 20 years ago so my memory isn't the best but at the end of the day he commented on the score and mentioned having played for them. 🙂
