Nick Harris is retiring from commentating on MotoGP and this weekend is his final weekend. The rest of the world will be denied his dulcet tones.
Good run Nick.

First 6 words had me happy Whatever you think of his present efforts on RadOx, he has served Oxford United and RadOx, as well as MotoGP, very well for many years.

Nick Harris is an Oxford United legend.
Pep obviously hates him though, signing after signing of foreign players with unpronounceable names.

Couldn’t really care less about the wrong names. Lincoln, Peterborough, Luton etc all have really shite commentary on there games. We are lucky.

Been around OUFC for as long as I can remember, best of luck to him always enjoy when he commentates with Jerome and says "oooh Jerome...." sounding like a pirate! I assume he'll remain on Rad Ox

Jerome and Nathan are fantastic. Selfy is bloody good as well. Nick Harris has struggled a lot in the last couple of years to put it politely. It shouldn't distract from his time as a Director and his time as a Commentator though.

Up this way, Coventry City's coverage on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire is nowhere near the standards of BBC Oxford. We've got it very lucky.

Nick's got a great voice for commentating, up there with the best. Ok, so of late especially he makes the odd gaffe, but that in a way is what makes it more fun, nothing serious or life threatening! To me Nick is the Eddie the Eagle of commentating.

I always like the ways he says 'and it's Oxford United 1, it's Swindon Town niw' in that Oxfordshire burr, and accent disappearing quick

Did anyone who isn't happy with Nick's contributions ever listen to the opposition commentaries on YP? I think we are blessed with the best "free"-to-air commentators of anyone, possibly including many prem teams.

Yes an OUFC legend and a true fan me thinks, I don't care about the odd mistake, I think we are very well served by the radio Oxford team and that's how they come across as a Team who genuinely care about OUFC
