Neville A. "Nev" Chandler, Jr. (born October 2, 1946 in Lakewood, Ohio—died August 7, 1994 in Rocky River, Ohio) was a Cleveland, Ohio-area sports broadcaster. Chandler graduated from Rocky River High School and, in 1968, Northwestern University. In the 1970s, he worked for several television stations in Ohio and sometimes hosted a sports talk show on WWWE-AM. From 1980 to 1984, Chandler served as WWWE's sports director and teamed with Herb Score on Cleveland Indians radio broadcasts. In 1985, he moved to television station WEWS as sports director and sports anchor. He was best known for calling play-by-play for the Cleveland Browns from 1985 to 1993, a time during which the team made the playoffs five straight years. The quality of Chandler's broadcasts and the excitement of his voice made him a fan favorite and a regular choice for the soundtrack of NFL Films productions. The title of NFL Films' movie about the 1986 Browns, ''Pandemonium Palace'', comes from Chandler's call of the team's double-overtime playoff win over the New York Jets. Chandler died of colon cancer on Sunday, August 7, 1994. He is buried in Lakewood Park Cemetery in Rocky River.〔(Encyclopedia of Cleveland History:CHANDLER, NEVILLE (NEV) ALBERT JR )〕〔(Chandler remembered - News Net 5.com )〕 ==Signature calls== * ''5-4-3-2-1 Touchdown!'' - when a Browns player ran in for a touchdown (especially after a long pass) * ''They are serenading the team with a chorus in "boo-flat"'' - when the Cleveland fans booed the home team after a poor performance〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nev Chandler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
