Gutted to read this. As someone who grew up with BBC Wales and S4C his commentary is forever etched in my memory. I was always happy to find out he was commentating on a match I was watching. Found him informative and entertaining - a rare mix.
RIP Eddie Butler

And that was it, his voice, such gravitas in his voice. RIPOldschoolsocks wrote: ↑September 15th, 2022, 9:14 pmHe had a brilliant voice, he always added to the viewing experience. RIPIanD wrote: ↑September 15th, 2022, 9:00 pm RTE news : Legendary Welsh player, commentator Eddie Butler dies

You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Re: RIP Eddie Butler
Very sad news. He was the voice of the 6N for me. No bullshit with him if a game was sh!t but he was still really enthusiastic and you could tell he loved it even when Wales were losing. A really big loss.
