Have you ever stopped to imagine what the world would be like without football?


Don't - it's not a pretty picture at all.

The beautiful game is a global language, spoken fluently by just about every tongue and nation across the world.


Messi and Ronaldo have set a generation alight, producing some of the most jaw-dropping football ever in their relentless quest to be crowned the greatest of all time.

For a decade now they have been a class above, outshining all those who dared to try and step out of their massive shadow.

However, while the Messi and Ronaldo are capable of producing magic at the drop of a hat, it takes a special commentator to sum it all up in a way that leaves fans purring.


Commentary is no easy gig and many mic-men are often criticised for the drab or biased nature of their performances.

There is one man though, who, with minimal effort, can turn a good goal into something quite breathtaking with just a simple turn of phrase or rise in his voice.

Peter Drury has been giving football fans goosebumps for years now and finally, someone has compiled all his best moments into one spine-tingling video.

Absolutely superb.

Who can forget the way Drury celebrated Siphiwe Tshabalala's opening goal at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, or the way in which he captured Roma's incredible comeback v Barcelona?

The man is a natural wordsmith - a football poet, if you will - and is fully deserving of his title as the best commentator in the world.

Can we have Peter calling every game for the rest of our lives?
