Very smart bloke and should have gone on to greater things but was never far away from one controversy or another; getting sacked for playing and dedicating 'God Save the Queen - Sex Pistols' to Her Majesty was fantastic.

It was for playing "killer queen" by queen when some young lad shot at her with a starting pistol during trooping the colour.

Cheers mate! I remember it was something vaguely 'Queen' related, but you are right, of course.

Whatever happened to James Stannage?!! I always remember that knob Jock Paul who said he was a City fan but then became a Leeds fan!

It was James Stannage that I saw on that banner. He currently broadcasting on http://www.manchesterradioonline.com

I've never listened to it so I don't know how good/bad the station is!!!

We should start a petition 'Bring back JHR'!!! :-)

Saw JHR a number of times at various events... always great.

But my two best memories of him were... after we gubbed the rags 5-1, he was on the radio and stated that if God wanted to take him that night he would die a happy man... and the other time was the Monday after we had gone down to the third division and BBC did a short programme about the future of City... JHR presented it and I'll never forget his final words..."It's not like anyone died... it just feels like it".

Should have been a major star, and when you hear some of the nobs robbing a living on Talksport I could weep...

One of if not the funniest man I have ever met.Not only a very clever and talented broadcaster he could be a stand up comic! Every time I have seen him M.C he has been funnier than the comedian, the whole room in stitches.Very very talented, get your talent used James!!!

I went to a few. Met Steve Penk (The Revolution) on a couple.

I used to DJ with Phil Evans - the roadshow DJ (the one that actually played the music).

There is actually a Facebook page for him if anyone's interested.
Maybe he has some connection there.

If stuart hall was doing the stadium announcing i'd have to turn up 10 seconds before kick off to avoid him at all costs

same here.

Sacrilege. If you don't love Stuart hall you don't love life

In that case I better get the car warmed up and find out where I put the garden hose
