It's only a couple of years since he was a regular on 5 Live's Monday Night Club. Often made a game more interesting than it really was.

Just read on his wiki entry that he finished his career at Dulwich Hamlet FC, which was a five minute walk from my old flat in London. Used to pass the ground on my walk to and from Sainsburys.
He was local to Barnet and I think he started his journalistic career with a local weekly paper. Often attended games at Underhill when he had a Saturday off.
The voice of football; he seemed to be around forever. RIP.
His commentaries were part of my childhood and more. RIP

Genuinely a great commentator of the game.
