Bob Colston

Bob Colston

Bob Colston is a broadcaster who was famous in the United Kingdom as the voice of the football results on the ITV programme World of Sport which ran from 1965 to 1985.

Whilst reading the results, Colston inflected his voice to imply the result of a match simply through his sonorous intonation of the home team’s score. Colston read the results out for many years on World of Sport right up to it cancellation. Soon afterwards the crew had it's own results programmes which ran until 1992 with Colston reading the football scores. By then the results featured on the Saturday team ITN News bulletin which Colston did until 1996 when he joined Sky Sports which he sometimes did the football scores on Soccer Saturday.

Trivia

* Whilst Colston was the only regular reader of the football scores for many years on ITV, Len Martin had surpassed his longevity on the BBC's rival programme Grandstand from its inception in 1958 until his death in 1995.
