Gerry Taggart leaves Radio Leicester!

[Buzzell]

Not too fussed about Taggart to be honest. Listened to Elliott on Saturday and after that I already prefer him to get the job rather then Gerry.

[blueonyou]

The thing which annoyed me about Gerry is the way he cleared his throat before every sentence and said "er" far too many times for a broadcaster

[Guest bss9401]

Gerry is the balloon head

[ealingfox]

Sack off Stringer and have both Elliott and Young?

[foxoffderby]

wow so much going off at the moment I cant keep up

[dylanlegend]

Gerry Taggart... Radio Leicester legend! I mean... Did we ever lose when he commentated!?

[The Horse's Mouth]

hoping for St Ledger personally

[veezeeblue]

Bring him back FFS .... you know who ! 

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

I'd put money on Alan Young looking at this thread.

 

Love Gerry but as a co-commentator he was, well, shite, no enthusiasm, which is one of if not the most important thing, he just sounded bored in the few games he did do. Elliot was brilliant, would love him as a permanent, if not then who knows, just someone with a bit more umph than Gerry had.

[Buce]

Never even got to hear Gerry. Thoroughly enjoyed what I heard from Elliot for the 30 mins I had the wireless on on Saturday.

Are you my grandad?

[Richard]

I liked gerry, he knew what he was talking about and made some contributions to the commentary. I'd certainly choose who him over somebody with "enthusiasm" who just acts like a fan screaming and bitching.

And seriously, how can somebody not understand him?!

[daddylonglegs]

hahaha. this does make me laugh! surely this is 3rd time lucky now

[Finnegan]

Just anyone but Matt Piper.

[LCFC_Nige]

Did we ever find out why/ how Alan Young fell foul of Radio Leicester?

Ask Lee Dans and Anthony Kneeyokaert.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Just anyone but Matt Piper.

 

MATTEH POYPOH

[WhispyWizard]

Someone offer Elliott a job! then they'll haveto take Youngy back!

 

[5waller5]

Everytime I listen to the radio it's Matt Elliot on there (and I like him a lot - seems to talk articulately and a lot of sense) ... But he quietly took over from Gerry.... Did I miss something??

Prefer Elliot anyway to be honest. Better player and better commentator.

[Jonstar69]

Did he ever get a coaching role then?

[The Horse's Mouth]

Kinda annoys me that Elliot wasn't in the chair sooner, I assumed Youngy as only there because the unavailability of fan favourites like Elliot but I guess I was wrong.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Radio Leicester appears to have problems. Just as well they are not a football club!   

[bluebeau]

Sorry if I have misspelt his surname, but can anyone tell me what has happened to Gerry Taggart?

 

When he decided to quit commentating for Radio Leicester after just a couple of weeks, he said that the reason he was leaving was because he had been offered a job that was too good to turn down.

 

He never said what the job was or who he would be working for.

 

I have never heard so far where he is or  what he is doing.

 

Personally I wasn't disappointed when he left RL. I loved him during his time with City, but imo he is not cut out to be a commentator/summariser.

 

I like Matty Elliott, he has an easy to listen to voice & a good knowledge of the game.

[Leicesterpool]

Gerry wasn't enjoying the radio life and to be honest I don't believe there was any other job. He just wanted out as soon as possible. I do agree Matt Elliot does a good job, I do admit though at times I do miss Al Young, maybe it would have been good if he had been offered to stick around for the football forum on a monday.
