Wasso Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 A very memorable figure. Didn't he also do like a load of marathons even in the later parts of his life. I always remember his "now then now then now then" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff-r Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I didn't grow up with him but obviously know of him, seems we're left with some really poor presenters these days, it's a shame. He seemed like a really generous guy. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
