@TimGavel Have lived in the UK for 15 years now but grew up listening to you calling the Raids. I can still place your voice… just like Jim Maxwell with the cricket. Enjoy retirement.
Thank you Jason , as you know the media world can be both relentless and exhilarating at the same time. But there comes a time. I’ve enjoyed listening to you over the years . Tim
Tim - a signature sound on ABC radio sport. Congratulations on a great run. I’ve often listened to your descriptions in awe at your ability to find the words for the big moments. All the best. JM.
@TimGavel Congratulations, Tim, on an absolute stellar career. There is no finer or dedicated caller of sport than you, and you should feel justifiably proud of your achievements over many years. Your loyalty and friendship to many has been unwavering. Take care my friend.
@TimGavel Congratulations Tim on a stellar career and all your genuine nurturing of sport in Canberra from the high profile right to the grass roots level, supporting so many athletes.
You are the “Molly Meldrum”
of sport especially in our region.
Earlier this week I informed the ABC that this year would be my last as a commentator. I retired from ABC Sport as a f/t employee in 2018 and have called as a contractor since then. 36 seasons is enough. V grateful for the opportunity.
@TimGavel Thanks for everything Tim! I’ve enjoyed every call of yours at Canberra Stadium, & it won’t be the same without you. Enjoy your retirement!! #legend
Thanks Tim. It was great to have as part of the team for so long. Starting as the most passionate stats man to being a sideline eye with the ability to secure sine great interviews with the players . Tim
I met Tim in 1993 & hounded him about the Raiders straight away. 6 years later he foolishly let me hang around the commentary box. 25 years on I don’t have adequate words to express my gratitude to Tim for the immense support & opportunities he’s given me. A true Canberra Legend.
Thank you for those kind words Packy. The time we spent on the road over the years were so enjoyable and I must admit I was never sure what I was going to get when I went to Packy on the sideline. All the best mate
Only the great ones last the time that u have & maintain the highest of standards. Never met anyone who gave so much of themselves to others & expected nothing in return. Honoured to be part of journey & call you a 'mate'. The kid from Condobolin has done his family & ACT proud.
@TimGavel Comgratulations on a wonderful career mate. Well done all the best for the future and enjoy going to the footy as a fan.
Honoured to get to work with you in the good old days.
