RIP Fluff
I have to say I'm underwhelmed by the amount of effort that obviously hasn't gone into the writing of that BBC article though, you'd think they would have more to say about one of their longest serving, and most popular DJ's

Contrast him to modern DJs who jabber on and on about inane rubbish (especially commercial radio) . An old school DJ that did his job well; A credit to the industry.

Nice bloke, too. Did lots of stuff for charideee, mate. 'Cos that's what it's all about, not 'alf.
Yes, I know that some of that was Tony Blackburn, but it still applies...
RIP Fluff - the only man ever to have Black Sabbath write a tune about him.

He had such a reassuring, pleasant and distinctive voice, I am sure at the time people dissaproved like some do about Chris Moyles, time tends to sort the true greats from the also rans, I do think the Chris Moyles might be in with a shout, but Scott Mills no chance. My current Favourite is Vernon Kay, very easy to listen to, doesnt prattle to much, is witty and doesnt sound false
RIP Fluff.
RIP Fluff.

A fantastic person full stop. I watched a clip of him recently in a show recorded years ago where he put a young Johnny Rotten firmly in his place. Johnny was giving it the usual arrogant looking down his nose bit but Alan bless him knocked him down a peg or two, 'shut up little man, I'm talking now' priceless.
