The Sports Commentators

The Page The Voice Was Reading From.

Every great piece of sporting commentary has a sheet of paper behind it, covered in a commentator's own handwriting: line-ups, colour-coded scribbles, statistics laid out in a system only they understand, prepared over days for a moment that might last four seconds. Nobody has ever thought to frame one. The Sports Commentators has, and the effect is quietly extraordinary, because you are looking at the actual page that was open in front of the man whose voice you can still hear in your head.

The collection covers football, rugby union and league, Formula 1, tennis, cricket, golf and cycling, and reaches the moments people genuinely remember: John Taylor's notes from the night England won the Rugby World Cup in Sydney in 2003, David Croft's from Silverstone. They are framed prints rather than posters, and they make an unusually good present for the person who has every book about their sport and nothing on the wall.
