Danny Kelly RIP

I know @clownfoot has posted about Danny Kelly's passing in the Famous Spurs Fans thread, but felt that the news merits a thread of its own.

He was a brilliant host of View From the Lane (it has tailed right off since he had to step back, something which helps to show just what an outstanding job he did).

He was also the driving force behind peak-NME in the 80s. Always honest, always outspoken, but never a rage-baiter; everything that he did was laced with a gentle Irish humour at its heart. He came across as a really genuine person.

He'll be very much missed.

FAAAAARRRRKKK! Was it cancer? I remember him mentioning on TS that he was in treatment, i had no idea it was severe...

May he RIP :cry:
 
I posted this in the pushing up daisy’s thread too. Glad you created a thread, he was a genuine fan and raconteur I could listen to forever. RIP
 
He spoke once about being offered hospitality and accreditation for Spurs by the club, but he turned it down because he wanted to be able to criticise the club where he felt he needed to and not feel he was seen as impartial. Not many would have done the same. A great personality and a great man

Add to that his love of Captain Beefheart. Sad news
