Aye a real character. Only bloke I know who wouldn't give you a half-time score cos he was "taping the game".

Well even if Mr Mutley does, I don't. I think it would just be a silly idea.

He'll get a massive round of applause on his last day, John's been part of the Matchday at Pools for as long as I can remember.

indeed, i always think other announcers sound crap compared to John Orley, he will certainly be missed.

He was outstandingly dignified when he had to read out that speech the first game after Michael Maidens death, you could hear him fighting back the tears with every word.

Enjoy your retirement John!
