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.
