Oh dear, he really was part of out 70’s childhoods for us sport loving kids. I remember him telling me that ‘Aston Villas go down at Ipswich’ in 75’ after telling me they were 2 up, and also that the Millwall game was being held up, which set my Mum on edge as my Dad had gone to the game. RIP Dickie.

RIP.

As a young kid I always muddled him and Des Lynam up. White blokes with a tash all look the same.

RIP though Dickie, I used to love watching the wrestling bits on world of sport.

"I used to love watching the wrestling bits"

perhaps not the most appropriate words

given their costumes

I was at both those!

As others have said Dickie Davies was part of permanent things in one’s childhood. Wimbledon (boring), Grandstand, Match of the Week, World of Sport, Ken Walton, Motorcross, Sportsnight with Coleman, Harry Carpenter, the rugby with Bill McClaren, Quizball, Question of Sport and Call my Bluff with Frank Muir and that miserable git.

Then there was Radio 2 with the legendary Peter Jones doing the commentary with Edelston and Bryon Butler. Proper commentary that made feel you were at the game, even if you were listening on a rubbish 70s radio.

RIP Dickie

Can smell the cigarettes and tea in my grandad’s living room, watching the results come in on a Saturday afternoon, marveling at the army of women clanking away on their typewriters in the background. TWTD

94 is a great knock, but another little piece of my childhood gone.
Loved the wrestling.
