So sad that he died when he was riding on the crest of a wave from the success of this drama that regularly had 10 millions viewers tuning in every Sunday, me being one of them.

I was with my young niece who had spotted him as "the man in Howard's Way" and she wanted his autograph but was too scared to ask for it. <br /><br />I asked on her behalf and he told his mates to go on ahead after the race. He could not have been nicer to my niece and he seemed a very pleasant chap.Rick Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935036676079182931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-24035532002641649352020-03-08T14:12:23.541+00:002020-03-08T14:12:23.541+00:00Thanks for the spot, only taken five years for som...Thanks for the spot, only taken five years for someone to point that out!
