John Motson OBE chooses the Tracks of My Years

John Motson OBE chooses his final Tracks of My Years in the lead up to the FA Cup final tomorrow. There's the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster.

John Motson OBE, football commentator, chooses the Tracks of My Years in the lead up to the FA Cup final. His last two choices are by Culture Club and The Beatles. Since 1971, John has been a commentator for over 2,000 games on television and radio, including covering all the major football championships: World Cups, FA Cups and European Championships. For a 30 year period from the late 1970s to 2008, John was the dominant football commentary figure at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ - apart from a brief spell in the 1990s, when his friend and rival Barry Davies was selected for two FA Cup final commentaries and the 1994 World Cup final. In 2008, Motson announced his retirement from live television commentary. He has continued since then to cover games for Match of the Day highlights and appear on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 5 Live as well as commentating on CBeebies' Footy Pups.
Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk.
