Yes the legendary It’s a Knockout Compére and Sports Broadcaster Stuart Hall is 80 years young on Christmas Day !!!
And he is still spreading the smiles, laughter and general good cheer… never a dull moment with Stuart. What a guy… who still likes the sound of his own voice but he CAN talk and is at 80, just as an eloquent speaker as he has always been… a master of words and a natural presenter.
There have been many tributes recently. The good ol’ BBC set a 2 hour radio tribute to Stuart Hall. If you’re quick you may still find it on the BBC’s iPlayer Service.
The Guardian has a piece of him too… “I love words. Words like chocolate and custard and crystal and iconoclast.”
And his beloved Manchester City (Stuart loves them through thick and thin) have also set tributes with a video interview on the MUFC web site.
Cheers Stuart… see you at 90 yeah ?
