Let's hope he'll be remembered for starting Praise and Grumble rather than the Sheffield Half Marathon farce. I think he had a raw deal there. RI P Robert.

I’m sure he was married to Mary Jackson who I use to know, she was a keen bowler to. I don’t know if she is still alive.  She did voluntarily work for the Abbeyfield Care Home.  

RIP

Praise and Grumble was a radio show where listeners rang in to either praise or grumble about their local football team on a Saturday night.
