choffer Posted January 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2019 No mention of Hugh McIlvanney’s passing? I remember getting “McIlvanney on Football” for Christmas one year and I must’ve read it a dozen times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Jeremy Hardy was one of my all time favourites. Just hearing him sing on ISIHAC makes me smile. His brief appearance in Blackadder Goes Forth is also a favourite. A sad loss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yes that was a complete shock I think it was him who I recall singing the lyrics to 'Girlfriend in a Coma' to a thoroughly upbeat tune. Or maybe Tony Hawks thinking about it. Either way, he was a source of so much humour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
