Colemanballs.....

Atheletics: Her time about 4.13, which she's capable of. [DAVID COLEMAN] She never knows when she's beaten except when she actually is. [STEPHEN HADLEY] There is Brendan Foster, by himself, with twenty thousand people... [DAVID COLEMAN] He is even smaller in real life than he is on the track. [DAVID COLEMAN] ...a very powerful set of lungs, very much hidden by that chest of his. [ALAN PASCOE] Virren, the champion, came in fifth place and ran a champions race. [ANON] This boy swims like a greyhound... [ANTHONY STILL] ...he just can't believe what's not happening to him. [DAVID COLEMAN] Tahamata went through the air like a torpedo. [PETER JONES] Both these players seem to anticipate the play of the other almost before it's happened. [TONY GUBBA] Here we are in the Holy Land of Israel - a Mecca for tourists. [DAVID VINE] Harvey Glance, the black American sprinter with the white top and the black bottom... [RON PICKERING] There is only one winner in this race. [DAVID COLEMAN] ...and the winner is the winner. [DAVID COLEMAN] Bradford, who had gone up from 200 metres to 400, found it hard going and for the last 100 was always going backwards. [DAVID COLEMAN] Henry Runo... the man with those tremedous asbestos lungs. [RON PICKERING] Boxing: And the crowd go wild as they see the shaven head of Hagler enter the auditorium. And there he is, hooded... [REG GUTTERIDGE] ...and Magri has to do well against this unknown Mexican who comes from a famous family of five boxing brothers. [HARRY CARPENTER] Heis had 24 fights, lost one, so he is undefeated... [ALAN MINTER] Minter, the undisputed world champion, leaves the ring not a champion. [HARRY CARPENTER] Well, I'm hoping we can fight again, or at least have a re-match. [JOHN CONTEH] To be honest, it was a very physical fight... [JIM WATT] This ring really does look small although it's standard size. Mind you, we're watching the fight in a huge stadium so Einstein's theory of relativity must be working here. [REG GUTTERIDGE] Cricket: It's his second finger - technically his third. [CHRISTOPHER MARTIN-JENKINS] ...this series has been swings and pendulums all the way through. [TREVOR BAILEY] It's a unique occasion, really - a repeat of Melbourne 1977. [JIM LAKER] It's especially tense for parker who's literally fighting for a place on an overcrowded plane to India. [TREVOR BAILEY] Boycott, somewhat a creature of habit, likes exactly the sort of food he himself prefers. [DON MOSEY] Bill Frindall has done a bit of mental arithmetic with a calculator... [JOHN ARLOTT] The Test Match begins in ten minutes - that's our time, of course... [DAVID COLEMAN] Lilee bowled seven overs, no maidens, no wickets for 35, and I think that's a true reflection of his figures too. [ALAN McGILVAN] ...and England win by a solitary nine runs... [FRANK BOUGH] After their 60 overs, West Indies have scored 244 for 7, all out. [FRANK BOUGH] The hallmark of a great captain is his ability to win the toss at the right time. [RICHIE BENAUD] Football: Within a couple of minutes he had scored two goals in a two-minute period. [ALAN PARRY] For a player to ask for a transfer has opened everybody's eyebrows. [BOBBY ROBSON] The score is Middlesborough 1, Middlesborough 0 - and Middlesborough have now gone eleven matches without a win. [DAVID COLEMAN] John Bond's smile is always very, very good radio... [MIKE INGHAM] After a goalless first half, the score at half-time is 0-0. [BRIAN MOORE] And Keegan was there like a surgeon's knife - bang! [BRYAN BUTLER] Sporting Lisbon in their green and white hooped shirts... they look like a team of zebras. [PETER JONES] So far Villa have only troubled Bradshaw twice with shots that did not trouble him. [LARRY CANNING] Without picking out individuals, I thought Gary Stanley did very well indeed. [ANON] Even when you're dead you shouldn't lie down and let yourself be buried. [GORDON LEE] Gary Bailey had to choose tonight to miss out on saving that. [DAVID COLEMAN] I promise results, not promises. [JOHN BOND] I wouldn't mind being a fly on Larry Lloyd's shorts. [MARTIN JOHNSON] ...and their manager, terry Neil, isn't here today, which suggests he is somewhere else. [BRIAN MOORE] Most of the things I've done are my own fault, so I can't feel guilty about them. [GEORGE BEST] I have other irons in the fire, but I'm keeping them close to my chest. [JOHN BOND] I don't think they're as good as they are. [KEVIN KEEGAN] History, as John Bond would agree, is all about todays and not about yesterdays. [BRIAN MOORE] The advantage of being at home is very much with the home side. [DENIS LAW] Some of the players never dreamed they'd be playing in a Cup Final at Wembley - but here they are today, fulfilling those dreams. [LAWRIE McMENEMY]

I remember my dad had a book of Colemanballs. Can just picture him helpless with laughter ..... Thanks Rick!!! Maz. XX
