Probably would have eventually gone under 2 hours in a marathon. Incredible athlete.

Quite a shock that to be honest.

Very sad about Steve Wright

Grew up listening to him in the car home from school every day, then started listening to him myself when I got older

Eighties icon. Very funny made my frequent journeys down to Portsmouth pass quickly.
Will miss him.

Back in the 80's Steve and his afternoon posse were a lot of fun, think it's about the last time I listened to any radio

Steve Wright...I've listened to him from day one probably.
Starting to feel my life is reaching an end .

The soundtrack to most of my working life Steve Wright R.I.P
Shame on radio 2 for jibbing him off 18 months before he died.
