James Sanderson was the sports journalist who really gave meaning to the football phone in
When a punter came on with a point to make his repost often was "were you at the game caller?" The punter would then make a lame excuse like " no I was at my sisters wedding"
To which the bold James would reply "could you not have made the second half?"

Now that is commitment-James Sanderson would have been impressed
