Found myself standing next to him at the D2 chasmpionship parade in Grand Avenue once, and had a chat about the season (and that legendary goal at Anfield). Absolutely top bloke.
He also seemed to agree with everything, even contradictory points.
Still a legend though.
I think bias commentating is brilliant. If The Argus were a bit more like that then more people would read it. In Newcastle the match reports are all "we came close to scoring" etc which I think is superb.
