A celebration of the inimitable 'voice of golf' Peter Alliss, revealing the man behind the microphone. Renowned for his charismatic and unique style of commentary, Peter was also one of the top golfers of his era and has quietly raised millions for his wheelchair charity. There are anecdotes from the world of golf, celebrities and family members which give an insight into this charming, witty man. Contributors include Peter's wife Jackie, Tom Watson, Gary Lineker, Sir Terry Wogan, Chris Evans, Sir Bruce Forsyth, Darren Clarke, Jimmy Tarbuck, Gary Player, Hazel Irvine and Steve Rider. The programme is narrated by Sue Johnston.
There is also a chance to relive top moments from Peter's popular programmes such as Pro-Celebrity Golf, A Round with Alliss and A Golfer's Travels.
Alliss was a familiar figure on the BBC before setting the tone for golf commentary worldwide. His voice was iconic in the world of sports commentary, but then so was this golfer, broadcaster and gentleman.

I am so privileged to have been around to watch Peter at work, now health has ended my fifty years of golfing enjoyment. Thanks for being part of all these years Sir.

Simply the greatest commentator in world Golf, growing up in the 80s watching the Masters in Spring & the Open in summer, Peter's voice and Alex Hay wwere synonymous with these events. Thank you for the upload fantastic watch. 👏👏👏👏

@RobertDore-w4l Год назад

I completely agree; his partnership with the late great Alex hay was a joy to behold.

The greatest commentator of any sport, the greatest of all time

It was in 2015 as I remember and I was playing in an 11 hole competition in respect of the opening of the new clubhouse at Seaford Head GC in East Sussex. It was on the Saturday after the final round of the Masters ( so 6 days later ) Peter had been asked by someone involved in the club or the opening committee if he could make it to officially open the clubhouse and present prizes. Now I guess he got back from the US on the Monday or Tuesday and most at his age would want to put their feet up ? Peter though was there to do the ceremonies, present prizes, give a speech and did not rush off pronto after all was done. His lovely wife did the driving and both were absolutely charming and gracious and as it was a real pleasure to have them both there. How many would have gone out of their way to turn up after such a busy time as he must have had ?

A one off, the greatest commentator on any sport and he had been there and done that (and suffered at times) so he had the right to say what he said about Jean van de Velde and other golfers. I wish I could see the full commentary from Peter when Miguel Ángel Jiménez was doing his warm up, it is priceless. The clips of Andy Prodger (Faldo's caddie) are spot on, but the 'Carol Vorderman' clip is Peter at his best. As many have said a true gentleman and very sadly missed.

John Cleese wrote at the death of Peter, I always felt I could cope with the end of the world, as long as Peter was commentating on it .

@bradfordrabbitt85 Год назад

From the States - Thank you so much for posting.😊

@paulhack5577 Год назад

I know it's said a lot when world renowned life superstars pass away , that he/she will never see the likes of again. I can honestly say , this is the case with this man . He is responsible for the love of golf on our screens , the many many now professional golfers out there , and the down to earth view of life in general on and off the course. Sadly missed and never ever forgotten.

@thepickerooney1578 Год назад

The Open and Golf is just not the same without him, sadly missed!

@imbyl6087 Год назад

One of the best. if not THE best Golf and sports commentators of all time. Classic humour which is so badly needed these days. So happy to have watched this ..just remove the Gary Linneker parts & its perfect.

@phidavy7805 10 месяцев назад

Pure class, Peter and Bill McLaren the best 2 sports commentators......ever.

@johnparton2209 Год назад

Quite simply the greatest sports commentator of all time r i p Peter

@MegaTubescreamer Год назад

peter had that endearing ability to bring us into his life, and make everyone a part of it, through his commentary you felt included and somehow involved as a close friend, he touched so many hearts and minds, god bless him.

@Trevorpartington-yc6ri Год назад

The most wonderful golf comentator ever ! I'm still chuckling about the queen mother of golf :D

@DL-my5ot Год назад

@matthewchalifour7360 Год назад

Thank you Neil, that was beautiful.

@robharley3159 Год назад

Super, thanks for taking the time to post.

@stevegane4443 Год назад

Met him in the mid 80’s, asked him for an autograph and he seemed bewildered that I should’ve wanted it! Gentleman

@jiml9062 Год назад

'Here he comes, the Queen Mother of golf', loved it since I heard it

@pauldurkee4764 2 месяца назад

Peter was just brilliant, loved by so many, and so badly missed.

@reicheld590 Год назад

Ah to have been there that day enjoying, listening, to Peter reminisce about a life well lived.

@jamiedalrymple3689 Год назад

A true gentleman when I met him at his talk in. Sadly missed ❤️✌️

@spud3607 Год назад

It's a testament to the man that I would always watch golf if he was on. I have never played golf! Sadly missed.

@CindyFagerstrom-d2t Год назад

A voice of ABC golf coverage in the states. Always great commentary. Went from Longhurst to Alliss as the most venerable of voices.

@stewartmack4821 Год назад

Great stuff an Icon in golf ⛳️

@lovelife4110 Год назад

I met Mr Alliss,love him and miss his velvet voice.

@CaribSurfKing1 Год назад

The car he leaves at the end has a number plate "put 3".....classic!

@joefriedmanfriedman3087 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Roone Arledge for giving the American Golf Audience Peter Alliss and Jim McKay on the same broadcasts!🏆⛳

@greatwhiteshark9192 Год назад

I remember watching 87 masters and mize chips in on 11 to beat Greg and win..."and they say the meek shall inherit the earth"...just timeless commentary....now you watch the CBS version when that happens and the commentary is just screams....now that's the difference...just a class act at the correct times!

@neilp190 Год назад

I did try and put some of the BBC coverage of the Masters I have for this reason, sadly it was blocked.

@stevenchampion8137 Год назад

Spot on.

@alpistor Год назад

thank you

@iancox8619 Год назад

I do miss him terribly, the voice of golf ⛳️ 😢

@pcoldlight5631 Год назад

He was the greatest, I really miss his commentary and double act with Ken Brown.

@Dickie2702 Год назад

Tears a plenty for the quips and stories and a few for the passing of a giant.

@ViN-kr3ri 4 месяца назад

Just found this on your channel Neil whilst googling Peter Allis. My favourite sports commentator along with Richie Benaud. So much more than a commentator, and even better imo that he often got under the skin of the woke.

@darrenshaw4305 Год назад

A great man of golf with no equal behind the mic. Good player also don’t forget that. Sadly missed.

@JamesBrown-pz6nw Год назад

I remember him at Scottish open at Loch lomond, camera scanning surrounding hills as clouds roll over them. He says in a kind of Scottish slang " aye, up where the monsters live". Brilliant.

@RobertDore-w4l Год назад

17:26 Paul McGinley is absolutely right, Jean Van de Velde did play some cracking stuff at Carnoustie; many forget just how well he putted, to my mind, if he'd had someone like Fanny Sunesson or Dave Musgrave on the bag that day, he may have won at a canter. That Caddie was more concerned with how he looked IMHO.

@stevenchampion8137 Год назад

I agree with Chris Evans, as I'd much rather hear Peter Alliss talk than Chris Evans.

@klausschraud7303 2 месяца назад

Classic gentleman

@toddsmith4532 Год назад

Peter is golf.

@pjduff7577 Год назад

I got aroused 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@sidneygreen9120 Год назад

Classic 😉 👍

@stephenholmes1036 Год назад

Peter Allis and Herny Longhurst the best

@DeadlyKiss000 4 месяца назад

I'd like to have been a fly on the wall when he got told off for say something like AROUSED. How could you tell the Champ off!??!! No way!

@RobertDore-w4l Год назад

For me; it's an absolute crime that this man wasn't knighted, IMHO, he should have been given a peerage. People seem to forget that he was a pretty good player in his day; aren't he and his father the only Father and son to have competed in the Ryder Cup?
