Yep just heard this on the news, I know alot of people slagged him off and was the butt of a few jokes which'll probably get worse in the next couple of days but personally speakin I thought he was sound, and the place will be a lot less brighter without him!

I REMEMBER LISTENING TO HIS LATE NIGHT RADIO SHOW ON LBC BEFORE HE BECAME REALLY FAMOUS. VERY FUNNY GUY WITH LOSTS OF WIND-UPS AND ALSO VERY CLEVER AND KNOWLEDGABLE. THOUGHT BEADLE'S ABOUT WAS A GREAT PROGRAMME IN IT'S FIRST FEW YEARS.

BY THE WAY, HE WAS DEFINATELY A GOONER. SEEN HIM AT GAMES AND HEARD HIM TALK ABOUT ARSENAL ON RADIO AND TV.

P.S. (WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ALL THE AVATARS AND EMOTICONS?)

Never really liked the bloke, well at least his attempts at humour, but sorry for his family that he is dead.

P.S Did he have a season ticket?
