My god, always looked fit as a fiddle as well :o

His Cardiff Swansea prologue for our first meeting in the premier league still sticks in my mind.

Gutted.
I read earlier that his death means there's no one suitable to voice over his own tribute. He was the only man for the job.
RIP

Awful news. The tributes online, in particular from Brian Moore, speak volumes of how highly he was thought of.

RIP.
