Malcolm Allen is a universally popular Commentator in Wales. The Allen-isms pearls of wisdom, as well as how his Welsh has improved dramatically (must have been to classes to help his vocabulary at some point) make him a really popular figure on the whole.

I saw him late at night at Tesco, Bangor a few weeks ago and he noticed my Bangor City apparel. He was the one keeping me talking by the end. I'd never met him before that.

For the record, I never much liked Barry Davies.
