The Dead Thread

Very much this. He was a highly opinionated presenter, unlike the sit on the fence muppets we generally have now.

Gary Lineker was paying his warm tribute earlier, saying amongst other things, that Hill introduced the panel of expert pundits with which we are now so familiar. I take his point about a panel of pundits, but experts, well blimey.

Hi mate,

.....doubt many will know but Alan Lee the Times horse racing correspondent has died. Regular on At the Races channel he seemed a really decent bloke, very sad that he has passed away at the age of 61.

Don Howe RIP.

Was never really sure whether he was any good as a coach or not. Plenty of folk who know more about it than me seemed to rate him though.

Grim time of year for this to happen for his family........

When being interviewed, he had that movement of his head as if he was still trying to nod one in.
