David Coleman: Memorable career moments

BBC Sport looks back at some of the most memorable moments in the career of legendary broadcaster David Coleman.

David Coleman OBE was the face of BBC Sport for well over a quarter of a century. He was the first presenter of Grandstand and covered 11 Olympic Games and six football World Cups.

Following his passing away just before Christmas at the age of 87, BBC Sport will celebrate his life and career in a special documentary. There are contributions from the likes of HRH Princess Anne, Lord Coe, Sir Michael Parkinson, Gary Lineker, Sue Barker, Sir Ian Botham and David's own family, who all paint an intimate picture of the man behind the microphone.
