    Shocked and saddened to hear that Paul Sherwen has died aged 62.

    Although a successful cyclist in his own right, he will best known as co-commentator of The Tour de France with Phil Liggett and a voice of my youth.

    RIP

    I met Paul when I went to stay with a french family in Lille with school in the early eighties.

    The father of the family I stayed with was Phillipe Crepelle who was managing La Redoute cycling team at the time.

    Paul became my personal translater on race day. Really nice guy.

    RIP.

    Sad sad news. He lived in Uganda of all places. Some voices are simply synonymous with a particular sport. His was one. RIP

    Many on here will have their favourites, he had a lot of tunes, an ear for melody and a unique style.

    Here's one from early 80s with Barry Adamson on bass. Absolute earworm.

    Went to see the Buzzcocks at Newcastle City Hall on my 21st birthday. My girlfriend at that time had a tortoise called Shelley. She took it to the gig. We got a message to Pete Shelley who invited us backstage and signed the tortoise's shell.

    RIP Pete Shelley (& Shelley). Your music will live on. Abritrary Images.
