8 years on and still the greatest thing to ever happen to Britain in my opinion. I hope to be there again one day. However this time, not as a fan. But as an athlete, representing my great nation on the biggest sporting stage in the world, in front of a home crowd.
RIP Eddie, what a wonderful commentator and voice.
Poppycock.
The David Attenborough of sports commentary. RIP Eddie
