Bill Turnbull alerted many blokes to the prostate thing. Diagnoses went up in numbers in subsequent years. He reckoned he'd done one good thing with his life!

Sad news all round. A good competent presenter.
BUT......I'll remember him most for the time one of the sports presenters on the BBC Breakfast show mentioned Dixie Dean in relation to record goal scorers. Bill then asked who or what is a Dixie Dean?
He later apologised for his faux pas after the BBC switchboards overheated correcting him.

Yes mate, lived in Moreton, nice, unassuming guy.
Earnie Shavers, one of the most devastating punchers boxing has ever known. Tyson? Wilder? Get outta here. Guys would retire after getting hit by Shavers.

That step off cross showcased first minute or so is quite the shot.
I read/saw a bit from him, he said he always aimed at the neck, because when in range someone couldnt move fast enough so he didnt connect somewhere.
brutal.
