Umberto from Piccadilly Radio RIP (page 8)

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I remember one Derby Day at Maine Road (before I was old enough to go) and the 'it's a goal' jingle blasted out. The presenter said there has at last been a goal in the Derby, then said we'll tell you after the advert break!!!!

3 minutes of pacing round the bedroom and finally found out McKenzie had scored and were 1-0 up... Fuckin amateurs!!!!

My 18th birthday!

Sad, he was awful on the radio when Stannage or JHR were off but sounded like he didn't have a nasty bone in his body.

RIP
