Gentleman Jim

FC Silver Fox · February 02, 2013, 08:23:32 AM

A couple of weeks ago I emailed Gentleman Jim mentioning there was a lot of background wind noise on some of his commentaries and asking if it was possible to put something around the microphone to stop it. I don't know if anyone else had noticed this.
It was quite windy during the West Ham game but the sound quality was far better. I emailed him again mentioning this and asking if he'd done something. This was his reply.

Hi xxxxx,
I've been chasing the club for a new headset for probably twelve months or more and they finally relented when the old one virtually fell apart at the Etihad a couple of weeks ago.
I've now got a brand new set, including a wind cover on the mic
Glad you could tell the difference, particuarly as it was such a windy night in London.
Good performance from the lads and a very big three points.

Cheers mate
God Bless
Jim

:Haynes The Maestro: Many thanks, Jim, even if you had to do a Michael Brown on your old microphone.

Jim really is a gentleman, and a true Fulham man, who provides a brilliant service week in and week out, home and away, travelling miles in all weathers.

It's always great to listen to the enthusiastic and informed commentary of someone who really cares about the club, and is a loyal fan as well as a commentator.

I really like his totally unbiased commentary. It is quite refreshing in todays media bias against us.

And when we play the team from the Dog Track remarkably he never mentions their name once throughout the commentary. :54:

...I have sat next to him at the wedding reception of Logicalman and he is a real Fulham fan and entertaining to listen to, I also met his brother once near Bournemouth (we both clocked each others Fulham badges) and he too is Fulham through and through...

Love him. Especially the "get up you ponce" and the "that lot" / "the visitors" / "them" etc.

L-Wizzy · February 02, 2013, 12:46:44 PM

I do have a few laughs when I listen to him, he almost brust my ear drum when richardson scored against blackpool. He looks a top don

Never a dull commentary...

Fulham Gentleman · February 02, 2013, 02:12:46 PM

Gentleman Jim is a legend! He is the best commentator on right now.

Yeah - quality geezer

Gentleman Jim just referred to Silver Fox's email re the good sound quality!

HatterDon · February 03, 2013, 02:06:27 AM

Two summers ago Rich Allen's Fulham Review published an essay I wrote about Gentleman Jim. I don't think he'd be too terribly upset if I reproduced it here. Will do so soon.

As LB said, GJ is a through and through Fulham fan, and a true gentleman. Easily approachable, friendly and willing to spend time with people. He is a total service to Fulham and all the fans worldwide.

I would ask that if you like his commentary then email the club, and him, and show your support, he deserves it all from us.

McBridefan1 · February 05, 2013, 05:34:21 PM

He is one of the main reasons I love this team. I would rather listen to him call a game than watch and listen to some of the pundits on tv. Back when we weren't so great (relatively) his commentary was often better than the games... when he calls the ref a clown and says he's making a mockery of himself, that is just what we are all feeling and its good to have someone express that for us... GJ phaaakin legend. :54:
