Here's to The Mellifluous One, who makes great occasions even better.

 

He was on fire again last night.

He put this on his Facebook page last week after the Real Madrid game:

 

Highlight of my night was bumping into Graeme Souness who greeted me with "Are you still here !! The wages must be good ! " ‪#‎idoitforlove‬

[AngryOfTuebrook]

He's been doing it for more than a third of the club's entire history.  Impressive.

[Bjornebye]

He should get a slot on radio two

 

Best voice in the business

[an tha]

Unlike the stupid screaming and shouting made for sky style hyperbole announcers at most grounds, the man goes about his business in a classy, understated and totally effective manner.

 

Class act.

[Tj hooker]

Can't remember a time when he didn't do it, Remember going to the opening match of the season quite a few yrs ago & some idiot was giving it the big yank style speech people were looking at each other saying were the fuck did we get this clown from I can only assume DJ George was on holiday as at the next home game George was back

We went through a period where George became the warm-up act to some twat from Radio City who most people hated. Gerorge is class.

Shocking leave it to the people who know what they are doing.

I'm surprised that he hasn't been approached by a local radio station though

[JohnnyH]

My favourite bit is when he talks and plays records.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

My favourite bit is when he talks and plays records.

And the calm way he just states the names of the goalscorers and substitutes.

 

Let the small clubs keep their Chorley FM cheerleaders: This Is Anfield.

[Hooch]

I was a steward for a few years, always let on to us on the way to his station did George, I liked that.

To be fair I'd let on to everyone too if I had one of the greatest jobs in the world.

I know George very well, and I can tell you he is an utterly fabulous gentlemen.  I did on the odd occasion get invited onto the gantry for games when he was based up there next to the hospital radio and Dennis Law.  Those were the days when it was easy to get a request read out as well.  

 

George has some great stories about his escapades with the team in the 70s and 80s, going with the team over to European games.  

[razor]

STILL owes me a nifty.

 

But I don't care - I love him as much as everyone else on here.

Ladies and gentlemen, for this evening's performance, Xerxes will be played by Stringvest...

 

Actually, it's good to hear that he's every bit a nice guy as he sounds.

Yeah, stringers, is there anyone you dont know?

 

George just is part of the match going experience. End of

Only because I used to work with George, and he used to give me a lift to work every day.  The only reason I contributed is to underline what a great guy he is at and away from the club.

If I don't know them they're not worth knowing, obviously.

Class act.

I always wonder if they use that voice away from the ground as well. "Pass us the SALT, dear!!!!" Cue: Chumbawamba.

[Harry Squatter]

Anyone heard the Everton stadium announcer? I think he tries to model himself on the X factor VoiceOver fella/Smell of Reeves and Mortimer narrator. Rather have George Sephton to be honest.

[Preston Red]

Was that not Simon Ross off Radio City?

 

George is awesome and that is the gospel.

[Stickman]

George is great and so was the late Phil Easton calling out the teams.....Sorry but can't stand Peter McDowell screaming out "AND FOR LIVERPOOOOOLLLLLL"

[Bellflower]

Just love his understatements " some interesting half times coming in "

You just knew the Blueshite and Mancs were getting turned over........

[Guest davelfc]

Long may he continue, although in my little area of the paddock he's nearly always muffled and I cannot understand most of what he says. Not his fault, crap speaker positions.

I miss the days when the half time/full time scores from George were news. These days so many people have their phones in their hands throughout the whole game that you always know the other scores - and actually, half the time our games are at 12:45 or 16:00 and there aren't even any other games in progress at the same time.

 

One of football's small and simple pleasures is getting in to Anfield dead early and hearing George come over the tannoy, listening to him and his choice music and watching the atmosphere build.
