Dickie Davies dies

[Johnny Vincents Motorbike]

Dickie Davies dies as tributes paid to legendary sports presenter

 

[Mr_Fridge]

Mention The Lord Of The Rings just once more
And I’ll more than likely kill you
Moorcock, Moorcock, Michael Moorcock you fervently moan
Is this a wok that you’ve shoved down my throat
Or are you just pleased to see me?
Brian Moore’s head looks uncannily like London Planetarium

Rest in peace DD.

Crikey, he must have been clocking on a bit.

I always associate WOS with some off piste sports - cliff diving, banger racing, speedway etc and the wrestling from 4 o c clock was always a laugh.

I have very fond childhood memories of sitting on the carpet of my parents living room watching the very same thing.

Happy days

As Mick MacManus won, the dastardly cheat,
there's that man with the Mallen streak,
jolly sooper voice gluing bottoms to seats,
smoothing out the teleprinter's sheet,
he's up there reminiscing about Adrian Street,
David Hemery's dash and Pele's magic feet.

The Pearly Gates are open,
St Peter wilts and swoons
as he welcomes the old King
of Saturday afternoons.

Must admit I thought he died a long time ago
RIP

[Norman_Conquest]

A big part of a Saturday afternoon when the Boro were away. 94 isn't a bad innings for anyone.

RIP

I was genuinely shocked at the news this morning as I was sure he’d died years ago

great 70s memories of watching rubbish sport and channel surfing between him and frank bough on bbc grandstand…

RIP DD
