By many accounts, not a nice person.
I can honestly say I’ve never seen a single movie he’s been in.

None of this rings a bell in the slightest.

Look out for a relatively new writer who has done some Galen DeMarco stories and a few stand alone ones too. One about a ventriloquist doll called Quilli made the cover.

A little closer to home.
Boo.
Stirling was right in the time when I was maximum teenage cricket fanboi.
Followed domestic cricket on Sports Round-up. Central Districts were my team. Listened to his debut in Pakistan of an evening.
Only 61.

Produced some iconic photographs.
I think it was Chris Laidlaw who provided the "Who'd Be A Welshman?" caption to this Peter Bush photo

Brian Price passed on. One of the go to guys for Wales and the Lions in the 60s. By all accounts a very good radio commentator later on too.

I still have a battered copy of Terry McLean's Willie Away I filched from somewhere untold decades ago. I will read the Newport game report in his honour
