Astonished he was that old!

Astonished he was that old!

He was manager of Palace in the mid 1970s so I guess it figures.

We'll here a lot about him now he's gone. Not in a Yewtree way, more in a gangsterish way.

Astonished he was that old!

My first thought was the same - but then I thought I remember him being around when I was a child and he must be a similar age to my father, who would be 80 next year.

But then I find it baffling to think of my father that age, because to me he'll probably forever be frozen at the age he died in his early 60s. Yet I don't question my mother being late 70s now at all.

I think I'm just losing the plot as I get older, particularly around age.

 

[Sheena]

I guess you didn’t see him around either- so not like we’ve seen him age.

Aww, I thought he seemed nice. The enduring image of him telling Gareth Southgate it was going to be OK after 1996.
