Hello, Citizens. I have been alerted about this discussion and feel I ought to reply.

Firstly, I am very flattered by the (mostly) complimentary remarks. Quite unnecessary, but thanks v much. I was just earning a living and being paid partly for taking the opportunity to stick up for the Mighty Blues, frequently with not a great deal of ammunition.

Secondly, I have to say that reports of my imminent death are, to the best of my knowledge, greatly exaggerated, unless you've seen some confidential notes I'm not aware of. And I've had my hair cut.

Now I shall cash in on this public display of admiration to ask a favour:

My lifelong mate's parents have both died in the last 18 months or so. They were both in their 90s and season ticket holders for decades. For many years they had an advertisement for their stationery business on top of the Platt Lane; the firm was called Britannic Printing. I've been trying to find a photo of it, but no joy. Even Gary James couldn't come up with anything, although loads of people say they're sure they've seen a picture somewhere. If one exists I'd love to have a copy to give to my mate in their memory. If anyone can give me a clue it would be greatly appreciated.

Frankly, I think it's the least you can do in view of all the pleasure I've given you over the years.

Vamos Barcelona!

You going to pay him to do that?

Remember, JHR is a professional speaker and, as such, requires remuneration for his time etc. Unless he really wants to do it for free :D

Not wrong. James H was a hero of mine in my youth (sorry James!) His late night shows were always the talk of the school I went to and then his Saturday programme with the Doc was indeed legendary. The spot on R5L was far too short lived and I know alot of football fans were angry at the programme being pulled.

I met James at Wembley in 99 and it made a great day even better and I've seen him as compere at P&W dos - and no one else could compare!

I dont care where or what it is but if JHR is up for it, I would love to see/hear him again.

Great to see him on here!!!

i just love his voice,his humour and it`s all so effortless,the saturday footy show with the doc takes me back to my younger days and the excitement of the "it`s a goal" hoping city had scored and the fear of "oh no!!" hoping we havn`t let one in is still as clear as day in my mind and p&w do`s was always JHR wrestling the mic off don price and if i`m really honest it was just as much as a buzz seeing JHR at the p&w meetings as it was seeing the players and the staff.....
