Does anyone remember Tremendous knowledge Dave?

Vaguely remember some sorts of Sports quizzes he was involved in ?

Does anyone remember him? Used to do weekends on Piccadilly around the same time as James Stannage?

Is he still on Radio anywhere?

I have a feeling he`s either at BBC Lancs or something like a Preston Radio station.

Somehow the voice doesn`t fit my image of him.First time I`ve ever seen a photo of him.

IIRC he put on a lot of weight since this picture.

I always imagined him as a very rotund (for want of a better word) jovial person,with a balding head,munching all sorts of butties,chocolate and crisps during a show.Perhaps he did and thats why he`s now a fat fucker !! ;)

It was overplayed, not one of Queens best imo.
