Raymond Carl Glendenning (25 September 1907 – 23 February 1974) was a BBC radio sports commentator and occasional character actor.

[1][2] He worked briefly as a chartered accountant before joining the BBC as an organiser on Children's Hour in Cardiff in 1932.

[3][4] In 1935 he moved to Belfast as an outside broadcasts assistant, and began commentating on local sporting events on the BBC's Northern Ireland service.

[3] He was noted for his horn-rimmed glasses, his handlebar moustache and for his fast-paced, excitable, somewhat plummy broadcasting style.

[5][9] He was a popular public figure, lending his name to a number of sports books, mostly aimed at boys.
