scousemouse Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The funniest thing I remember about him was, many years ago, he was to read the 'look north' news, the camera panned to him sooner than he expected. He had his feet on the desk, and was smoking a fag!!! Bet the move he made then was the fastest he ever made..................!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbenson Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi, used to love listening to Roger Moffat thought he was awesome, however I worked at the time at Curtis Records on the Moor, he came to buy records and was such an arrogant t---t that I never listened to him again.

Sue Wow, now that's going back... Curtis Records, where McDonalds became... I used to go into your shop in the middish 70's. I'm sure "our" Rog didn't mean to be arrogant really. He might have been having a bad day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko 1 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Millsands, Thanks for directing me to u-tube it was nice to hear those broadcasts again and a question for you, why dont we get disc jockeys today who play gramaphone records on the wireless ? I think people of my age group used Roger as a pick me up tonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people of my age group used Roger as a pick me up tonic. I was looking through the threads and saw this about good old roger :hihi::hihi:he was often found in the Mulberry tavern Brahms and list :hihi: I remember the comment he made about Elvis people had been calling Radio Hallam all day and I nearly fell of my chair laughing when he came out with the comment I dont know why we dont have Elvis stuffed and put in Reception .I thought now thats going to cause trouble and sure enough it did a load of teddy boys was waiting outside Radio Hallam to give him a good slap but the police had escorted him out of the building an hour earlier . I also remember him and his walking stick with a bell on it warning others he was about : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-s Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I remember Hallam starting around the same time that I left school and started work at Walsh's. A few years later I frequently assisted in carrying Roger home from his and my local the Bridge Inn at Ford (he was usually swearing profusely by this point!). I also remember being invited to Ray Stuarts house at Crookes on a few occasions which was always teeming with lovely girls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoopytoop Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I used to see Roger when he visited The Attic sandwich shop in town when it was owned by the Mortons. He had the place in uproar with some of his antics. In the 70's my mate had a room in the same house as Roger and Roger made the mistake of saying on air that he hated the song titled 'Black Betty' by Ram Jam, so my mate rigged his Dansette record player to play Black Betty all night and it drove Roger crazy!!!! R.I.P. Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
