The former TV presenter Frank Bough has died at the age of 87, a family friend has told the BBC.

Bough was one of the highest-profile and highest-paid presenters on BBC television.

He presented the BBC's flagship sports programme, Grandstand, and launched the corporation's Breakfast Time TV programme in 1983.

Bough died last Wednesday in a care home.

A keen footballer, Bough became the presenter of Sportsview in 1964, taking over from Peter Dimmock.

After his stint on the programme ended in 1968, he moved to Grandstand - the BBC's leading sports show on Saturday afternoon.

RIP <rose>
I thought he was a pervy twat?

RIP
 
Saw him once at St Helen where he was fronting a BBC transmission of one of the early limited over games. I remember he was wearing a bright, gaudy blazer. Funny how these things stick on the memory. RIP

Tragic story - RIP <rose>
Now that is sad. ,having a family member being released from an Academy and thankfully coming through the experience thus far unscathed I can understand how much an impact it can be , being rejected must be a hell of a feeling and at that age when kids are still effectively dreaming of making it to the big time more so . dreadful for him and his family RIP Jeremy <rose>
