He was 94
A bit of nostalgia for us old enough to remember.
RIP

That little printer that looked like a butterfly
Took an age to put the score up
His whacky suits and white quiff
'She's got Dickie Davies eyes'
Blimey you do have a musical flairQuote:

94, that's a good innings, if you'll excuse the cricketing parlance!
I used to love watching World of Sport. He'd always introduce some sport that few of us had any knowledge of - I remember watching American football on his programme in the early 70s, way before Channel 4 got hold of it.
RIP
It was a song by Half Man Half Biscuit, not Tuerto's musical flairQuote:
