The show- which I still catch chunks of fairly often, will not be the same. They should avoid a repalcement who was not also a former player. Its one of the USPs of the show. |  |

Kinda vanilla- and not an ex player. I am unlikely to tune in. |  |

I'm not sure I fully understand the jokes about alcoholism. If the guy's ill then he's ill. A legend for the Town, maybe a bit of respect wouldn't go amiss sometimes. |  |

I could watch videos of him playing all day. I'd rather remove my own ears with a rusty penknife than listen to his ill-informed ramblings and toe-curling 'banter' on the radio again. [Post edited 15 Mar 2020 19:30]

It's still important to separate the illness from the man. You should know that. |  |

I havent seen any suggestion that he is ill. He may drink too much- as many people do. He functions pretty well though- 20 years at that time of the morning. I dont think we can assume he is unwell... |  |

I am suggesting that alcoholism is his illness. Nothing more. I've not seen anyone deny he's an alcoholic. I understand of course, that people have differing views on addiction, but I can also see it a really difficult place to be, that's all. Absolutely no agenda. |  |

He clearly functions and does not drink of a morning. Whilst he has a reputation- it really doesnt mean he's some hopeless alcoholic. |  |

There are forms of alcoholism. Someone functioning can arrange their entire day/week/months/yearly calendar around their opportunity to access drink. I don't know the guy personally, and you would be right to suggest I have no particular insight to the man's personal life. But, in an effort to not lose sight of my original point. I don't think it's too kind to keep mentioning his drinking as a definition of him as a person overall. [Post edited 15 Mar 2020 19:26]

In fairness- he does that himself. Its part of his public persona and he revels in it. |  |

Can't lie, I've not listened to him in some years. Bit like Parry, who seems to have gone down a rather dark road. [Post edited 15 Mar 2020 19:26]

On a lighter note Alan Brazil on 19:36 - Mar 15 with 3025 views | fabian_illness | I don't listen to his radio show very often. I'm glad he's slowing down while he still has the choice. Away from the public eye he has a really lovely family and more than enough to do at his gaff to keep him busy. |  | |  |
