Mark Chapman (MOTD) wife 44 tragically died.

Even though he's a United fan, he's always come across to me as an ok human being. Sad news.

He's a bit of a hark back to previous generations of broadcaster where, although it's known he's a United fan, you never really feel it influences his hosting or commentary, other than I think he's quite keen to bring up the Glazers bad ownership.

I really like his NFL shows as well, always strikes a good balance between entertaining long-term fans while encouraging new fans, which is a delicate balance.

Tragic news this, not long since Sky presenter Simon Thomas' wife died at 40 as well.
 
Can't even empathise as the thought of it happening to me is adsolutely horrific.

Think hell be like Simon Thomas from sky who lost his wife and you'll probably never see him again.

Truly sad.
 
He was a big part of the Chris moyles breakfast show on BBC radio 1 too, some might turn there nose up at this but it was what we had to listen to when I did my apprenticeship.
 
Always hard to know what to write in threads like this without sounding trite but as others have said he seems like a sound bloke, is a good presenter who doesn’t let his allegiance cloud his work and this is an awful thing to have happened
