It is a sad day in the UK today. A long running program that used to be on over here was Grandstand. One of the commentators on that went on to be the voice for all of the Olympics – Winter and Summer for the last forty years, including 2012. He also covered every World Cup from 1974 – 2006. He then went on to be the voice of ITV’s Dancing on Ice when it started in 2006. Today he died after a short illness. The day after the latest series of Dancing on Ice finished.
R.I.P. Tony Gubba. September 23, 1943 – March 11, 2013

A Mixed Bag 
RIP, Tony
Had no idea! Very sad.
May he rest in peace.
May his soul rest in peace!
That is sad, Alastair. He was NOT what I would call an old man! Sounds like he had a wonderful life ❤
No wasn’t old. He was a very well known voice.
May he rest in peace.
Is sad news
Sorry for the lost, may he R.I.P.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Yeah he will be missed.
***Rest in Peace to him.:)
Rest in Peace with him. Everything has a reason! Good thing for sure he marked the good history to your country.:)
Yes he did.
I hadn’t heard. I don’t follow sport, but have just told DH. He wasn’t very old. Sad for his family too.
Yes we all are
Such a shame when icons pass away. I can relate, last year, Indian showbiz lost some 5 or 6 stalwarts all aged between 70 and 80. We mourned as a nation…
I’ll bet. Losing five.
