He was the voice behind many a Sports event in my youth.
We can never forget the Rumble in the Jungle, or the Olympics mockery.
RIP Harry, aged 84.

Not so long ago, Bill McLaren, and now Harry Carpenter – both consummate professionals. And although Harry Carpenter is probably associated with boxing more than any other sport, he commentated on almost every sport the BBC broadcast over the years, such was his natural flair.

RIP Harry.
I particularly remember his commentaries on Frank Bruno fights, The man had such a passion for sport and that came out in everything he did.
We are losing the voices of sport and sadly the new ones to not endear as much in my opinion.
