This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these players. Well, twice in a lifetime if you count the first match.
"John Walker Motson", Order of the British Empire/OBE, also known as "Motty", is an English people/English association football/football Sportscaster/commentator. Since 1971, he has been a commentator for over 1,500 games on television and radio, including covering all the major football championships: Football World Cup/World Cups, FA Cups, and UEFA European Football Championship/European Championships.
For a 30-year period from the late 1970s to 2008, Motson was the dominant football commentary figure at the BBC (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 FIFA World Cup Final/1994 World Cup final).
In 2008, Motson announced his retirement from live television commentary. The UEFA Euro 2008 Final/Euro 2008 final was his last live television broadcast. He has continued since then to cover games for Match of the Day highlights and appear on BBC Radio 5 Live.
