Excellent presenter, wasted on TalkSport. Always spoke a lot of common sense and wasn't afraid to tell it like it was either.
A real loss to broadcasting

A huge shock- for me, he and Whaley were/are the station.
I disagreed with half of what he had to say, but I loved the way he put it....a perfect voice to chill out with on a Saturday night.
He will be very, very sadly missed.
Whaley is dedicating his show to him on Thursday night and turning it into a tribute, with his old radio mates and some archive- which may, of course, be as recent as loast Saturday.

My memories of him are from his time on LBC... grumpy old bugger, and I rarely agreed with his politics, but was thoroughly enjoyable to listen to.
There was a very nice tribute made to him on Clive Bull's show last night.

Top bloke. I for one rarely disagreed with his views. He spoke a lot of sense to me.

I liked his 'bored' and 'tired of it all' voice when trying to voice reason. James Whale pretends he's as good as Dicken..............not even a close 5th in MY book
