It’s finally finished! I’m sorry for the confusion earlier but having gone back to my afs file, removed all the player name files I didn’t change and re-making the patch, it’s now only 20MB overall! Because I only have dial-up I had to upload it in 4 parts, and I owe a great debt to tom10 who very kindly let me use his filefront account to upload the files to. It’s taken me 2 hours to upload them but will probably take no time at all to download for those of you with broadband! Ok, here’s the info about the patch with the links at the bottom!
Here’s some info:
It was made for PS2 but should work fine with PC and Xbox.
Thanks to everyone who’s helped me with anything on evo-web, I really appreciate your help. But especially Fishcake, Dazfeeder, Madangie, tom10 and Abscroll for their helpful advice and files for this patch, and for the brilliant Dkz studio!
The patch was made with Dkz studio so I’d recommend using that to patch your esound/ssound file but you may have more knowledge of patching than me.
There are approx 400 Motson files, 150 Lawrenson files and probably nearly 200 team names. This is as much as one person can do for now!
Player names are NOT done! This would take twice as long, so you need to turn these off in sound settings in the game options, otherwise Brackley will pop up to say these! Hopefully I’ll either sort these out in future or some guys here on evo-web will help to sort it out.
I’m not claiming it’s perfect! I have tried to keep repetition down but even the normal commentary gets it wrong sometimes (e.g Brackley often says I’m gonna be relegated when I could be 4th in the league!). I thought it best to release the patch, let you all try it and tell me what needs changing, and then when I’m back from my holiday, I may try and update with more samples etc. It still sounds good for a first attempt though!
IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO HAVE BOTH SETS OF ENGLISH COMMENTARY ON ONE DISC!
Here’s a suggestion for using the files (credit to RuneEdge for a great idea). Rather than replace your English commentary with this new one, have BOTH sets on your disc! You can either apply the patch to your existing esound.afs file and copy your normal esound, rename it to ssound (for example) and re-import, or just apply this patch to your ssound file. When you load the game, load your language as usual, but in the options menu, you can choose to change the commentary only, so that if you choose English (esound) you could have Motson, and if you choose Spanish (ssound) you can have Brackley! The menus will stay the same language and only the commentary changes! Superb!
One other thing, in the download "Beardy’s sounds", I’ve also put a word doc which is a list of all the team name files and instructions on how to change them, and adx files for Sunderland and West Ham for those of you who want to replace teams with these newly promoted ones. Sorry, but I haven’t got Wigan and if people want other European teams then tell me and I’ll see what I can do.

OK, in a desperate attempt to get some working links, I've uploaded the same file multiple times! I explain about it below so please read to get the correct files!
OPTION 1
This is the full patch, with all updates included, just apply this patch to your ?sound file and "save as" to get your new file (which you import back into your iso). This is literally a patch of the whole E_sound file so is big (each part is about 25MB) and I'd recommend trying this with WE8LE:
OPTION 2
This is a patch which includes just the files I've changed and so is smaller and more suitable for those of us with dial-up! Because I updated afterwards, if you choose this option then you need to apply this new update AFTER the original 4 part patch below (each part is 5MB).
and the update file...
OPTION 3 (!)
This option is same as option 2 but the 4 part patch is all in one so is a 20MB file to download and then use the update posted in option 2.
PLEASE REMEMBER! Whether you use option 1, 2 or 3 they all are the SAME patch!
I'm new to patching but I know this definately works if you have problems once you have the files you choose. OPen the patch file with Dkz studio, edit>export checked files, and export to a purpose made folder. Now open your original ?sound file and go, edit>import all files in folder, and chhose those you just put in your folder. It may now say that some are too big, ignore that and choose save as on your ?sound file and it'll all be saved, probably leaving the file size around the 222-227MB mark. To check, scroll down the files and you should have bold files (the imported ones) and if you play these they will be Motty (unless you click on a 2148B file which is silent!).
Now import and "pad with zeros>yes" if asked.
I'm praying these links work!!
