The Seven Wonders of the World catalogue the world's most spectacular natural wonders and man-made structures.

Man United's Dark Knight, a Euros-winning pirate, the Super Mario LIV golfer and a Lionesses legend as the terrifying Pennywise - can you recognise these sporting stars in their Halloween costumes? Each chapter is named after an influential player, manager, or commentator who has inspired Clive throughout his career. While talking about football dominates much of Tyldesley's day to day life, he wants to use his words to spread a more important message - one that affects all of us. It was much better to have had eight seconds of roaring crowd and simple pictures without me decorating it by screaming.

Like all true romances, it was irrational and intoxicating, it was tangled and foolish, it became addictive and occasionally heart-breaking and it kept on changing. I'm sure lots will like it but at times he's a bit preachy and self righteous and there's very little talk of commentary - it's more about sharing bottles of wine with his famous friends.

Man United 0-3 Newcastle: Pressure piles on Erik ten Hag as Red Devils suffer another DISMAL home defeat. Even if they backtrack we’ve caught our spouse in bed with another person and the marriage is effectively over.Photograph: Tom Jenkins/The Observer Clive Tyldesley says of Gareth Southgate: ‘Realism is his chosen specialist subject. The co-commentators now talk far more, co-hosts rather than expert voices brought in for a specific moment. And she said, "No, you can, because early diagnosis is everything in bowel cancer, and not everyone in this room has the nerve to stand up in front of thousands of people and talk about checking your s**t. The viewer’s tolerance for this is correlated with their feelings towards the team Savage or whoever are rooting for. From Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's last minute winner for Manchester United in the 1999 Champions League final to Wayne Rooney's debut stunner and plenty of England heartache, Tyldesley has seen it all.

He was charismatic, had such aura and presence, gave me some of the greatest interviews I’ve ever had, came to my leaving do, and was charming to my parents because he could turn it on with them like with [Michael] Parkinson. Dwayne Johnson dresses up as David Beckham for Halloween, as WWE legend sports blonde wig and a Man United top. From his first job in local radio in Nottingham to becoming one of television’s best-known football commentators, his award-winning career has spanned more than 45 years. Gareth Southgate (top left), David Seaman (top centre) and David Beckham watch Sven-Göran Eriksson talk to Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street on the day the Swede had named his 2002 World Cup squad.

The bad news for my good friend in the hottest seat of all is that it never ends well for the England manager. Whether it was a boring 0-0 with Coventry on a Saturday or a thumping home win on the Midweek Match, I loved the sound of this fellas voice.

He has played an active role within football’s anti-racism body, Kick It Out, and is a long-standing patron of the Bobby Moore Bowel Cancer Fund and the Sir Bobby Robson Refugio charity.All I can be sure of is that he won’t leave the job because he was entrapped by a fake sheikh or had expressed his views on the afterlife or become embroiled in a high court fraud case or been seduced by a Football Association PA. The first thing you’ve got to get your head around as a broadcaster,” Clive Tyldesley says, “is that it’s not actually about you.
