Phil Suarez

Re: Phil Suarez

Classic was 4 door, this was a 2 door.

By the way....odd website this when someone tries to pay tribute to a man that was CCFC through and through and the banter is all about cars.

With respect to the late Phil Suarez who I listened to regularly. Didn't he live in Beulah Road and was always concerned to get back home after a night out to feed his cat?

The Classic was available in 2 and 4 door form. Extract here from Wikipedia:

The Ford Consul Classic is a mid-sized car that was launched in May 1961 and built by Ford UK from 1961 to 1963. It was available in two or four door saloon form, in Standard or De Luxe versions, and with floor or column gearshift. The name Ford Consul 315 was used for export markets.

Re: Phil Suarez

No idea why, but thought I'd try and do some reading up on him.

The press suite at the Cardiff City stadium is named after Suarez.

There was a time when he was combining local radio and tannoy duties when he gave his pre-match report over the tannoy and gave the team line-ups on the radio.

Apparently there was a time, when commentating on Touch AM that he asked a fan in the grandstand to carry on commentating while he went for a slash. Probably urban myth but with Phil I'm not so sure!

I recall Rob Phillips once mentioning that he and Phil used to sing 'Sea Cruise' regularly.

I remember him as a brilliant football commentator who had a wicked sense of humour. His enthusiasm for the City on the radio helped cement me as a Cardiff fan when I was young, before I had a car etc.

Wasn't he in the tannoy box the night Swansea started performing in the Grand stand and he started shouting for reinforcements?

Re: Phil Suarez

There are some people that make a big impact on your life, and Phil was one.
We were great friends as teenagers. I played in a band and he was a regular supporter. A gang of us had a great holiday in St Ives back in 1962, the five of us travelling in Phil's cobalt blue Ford Capri.
Ive taken a picture from an old album on my phone, but got no idea how to share it on here.

Great photos mate

I remember him being on tannoy duties when he asked at half time if a Mr whateverhisnamewas had lost something. He said "I can't say what it is, but it's your bank card"....
