And Jeffrey Bernard a few days after.

Random - but interesting fact. (remebered it from my school days)
His father Bernard was an England cricketer and is credited with having "invented" the googly, hence its other name the "Bosie" (or "Bosey")

Reggie used to have a couple of bottles of red with lunch play tennis in the afternoon , roger Anna Ford ,then cool as beans read the evening news . A true man of the 70’s

Just picked up a book about him but not started it yet.

He certainly was a laugh when reading some of his bulletins as I remember
