Surely we can park all this leedsy pantomime bollox for a moment to say RIP Dickie Davies. A legend of broadcasting.
Aha yes World Diving Championships from Acapulco and also Mike Hazelwood competing in the Masters Water Skiing Tournament in Georgia and the World Barrel Jumping Championships as well as the regulars of Brian Moore with On The Ball, Racing from Goodwood, and of course wrestling with Kent Walton
...log rolling and cliff diving... precious little in the way of real sport but Dickie did it in style
Think a new era started with the likes of Dave “Boy” Green always on the box. Dickie was a legend and was thinking about copying his grey streak as a teenager
But you had all the grannies sat there with their knitting booing Mark "rollerball" Rocco, cheering on the world tag team wrestling team the Royal Brothers, and begging for someone to pull the mask off the very red eyed Kendo Nagasaki. It was avid viewing on a Saturday afternoon just before the football scores, when I was dumped by my parents at my nan and grandads
Won't be long before someone comes along and mentions the ' Wheeltappers and Shunters '. Oh, I just did And the bar is down...the bar is down.
Once had silver highlights put in mine. Looked great...errr I think. Anyway it was better than my Miami Vice look.
