That’s sad.

He had such a distinctive voice. There are several short-ish documentaries about various players and teams that sometimes get shown on Sky Sports and he narrated then.

That’s sad.

He had such a distinctive voice. There are several short-ish documentaries about various players and teams that sometimes get shown on Sky Sports and he narrated then.

The documentary he did for the BBC about Shankly, Stein and Busby was superb.

A great loss in the world of journalism.

 

[Maravilla]

The greatest boxing writer ever. RIP

Back in the day when we got the Observer, his articles would be amongst the first I'd read after reading the headlines in the Sports section and flicking through to see if there was anything Sunderland related. He definitely had his own style and was a very interesting and informative journalist.
