Passed away aged 87. A great commentator/presenter in his time covering a number of sports. Sad news - particularly for his family so close to Christmas. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25476438
Yes, he was on so often in my early years (in our sport driven household) that he was almost like a member of the family. ... and despite his Colemanballs, he was a true pro and brilliant at what he did.
