Once you've heard it, you can't unhear it.

We're talking about one of the funniest and most iconic pieces of sporting commentary known to mankind.

Let us introduce you to Mick Morgan.

After retiring from international rugby league in the 1980s, passionate Yorkshireman Morgan thought he'd try his hand at match commentary.

While the majority of his career in the commentary box remains relatively unknown to the rest of us, one particular incident would carve Morgan's name into sports folklore.

The moment came during the Regal Trophy final between Castleford and Wigan in the 1992-93 season.

Morgan, who had spent three seasons with Castleford as a coach in the late '80s, was in the commentary box to give his not-so-biased thoughts on the game.

And to say Morgan let his emotions get the better of him, well, that would be a massive understatement.

When a high tackle on a grounded 'Cas' player went unpunished by the referee, it singlehandedly sparked a game-calling masterpiece for the ages.

"Send him off," Morgan screamed.

"Send the dirty git off! Get him off the field. That were diabolical.

"That's just typical of what it is! Get him walking!

"Walk him Campbell, if you've got any bottle. If you've got any bottle Campbell he should walk - that were absolutely diabolical."

Campbell, who we're assuming is the poor referee, brandished the Wigan player a yellow card to caution him for his acts - a move that didn't sit well with Morgan.

"He's given him a yellow! You Bottle-less git, Campbell! You d*******," he said.

"Come and Cas, rub it in!"

Incredibly, on the very same play Castleford broke through the Wigan line and scored a try to send them on their way to an emphatic 33-2 upset.

Morgan's reaction? Priceless.

He shouted: "Shove it up your arse! He's the best prop in the world!"
