The Beeb are hosting an event to celebrate the wonderful Stuart Hall.

I cannot believe the guy is 80 on Xmas day.

He is very much a Blue and has always put a smile on my face with his commentaries.

A Legend.

BBC to mark career of Stuart Hall
8 December, 2009


The career of broadcaster Stuart Hall will be celebrated by the BBC in a radio special to mark his 80th birthday this month.

A live two-hour show on BBC Radio 5 Live will be devoted to the TV and radio host, famous for presenting long-running game show It’s A Knockout, as well as continued appearances on 5 Live.

BBC regional news viewers will also know him for his years of service on Look North and North West Tonight.

Hall, who will turn 80 on Christmas Day, has 50 years of broadcasting experience, which friends and colleagues will reflect upon during the radio special.

Those scheduled to appear are Coronation Street actor William Roache, Manchester City legends Mike Summerbee and Francis Lee and Liverpool star Graeme Souness.

The event, fronted by Mark Pougatch and attended by senior BBC Sport figures, will take place at the City of Manchester Stadium, home of Hall’s beloved Manchester City.
 
Being a small-time sausage thief and sporting a Bobby Charlton combover aside, he is funny as f*** on 5Live
 
Absolute legend is Stuart Hall!
Nobody else like him, brilliant.
Likewise, I laughed so hard when he got 'done' for mock-thieving the jar of coffee and a packet of sausages not five minutes after Richard Madeley was caught robbing gin for Judy!
 
Anyone remember his match report when Keegan was in charge, he went mental introducing keegan as Zeus and using various other Greek Mythology references...it was the best match report ever!
 
A legend. We need more Stuarts and fewer Alan Greens. The chapter on him in Mark Hodkinson's book Blue Moon Rising is very funny, especially Joe Royle's bemused reaction to the great man's arrival at the training ground
 
Sorry.
I cannot stand listening to him. It is like chalk on a blackboard to me.
Likes the sound of his own voice too much and often I don't even know what the score was at the end of his incoherent summary.
For a blue he really does kiss the rags arses.
No can't beleive he is still working. Put him out to grass.

Couldn't agree more with every point made there.

Definitely polarises opinion, this pleb does.
 
man is a legend. Good ten years or so ago the five live commentry went over to stuart at ewood park who spent 30 seconds saying how poor both sides were before finishing with "the score is Blackburn Dull. Everton Dull".

More of this, less of that t**t Alan Green please.
