Dickie Davies passes away
 

The former presenter of World of sport in the 1970s and 1980s, Dickie Davies has died aged 94. A legend of sports broadcasting.

As a young Wrestling fan in the 1980s I have fond memories of Dickie.

RIP

In those days, Saturday afternoon was Grandstand on BBC1 and World of Sport on ITV

Long Life.

He was a good presenter of sport.

He will be missed

Dickie Davis was a one off, he was on every saturday for 5 hours in my youth

Don’t know why but I just think of The Saint and Greavsie show when this guys name is mentioned

I have a great story about Giant Haystacks but maybe it would only interest a select few who would even know who he was

Used to watch World of SPort and the wrestling every week

Long life, a very good career.
R.I.P.

On stage, he was the bad guy whilst Big Daddy was good guy. Off stage, apparently it was the opposite. He was a nice family guy by all accounts, whilst Big Daddy was a bit of a diva.

Awww bargain hunt is iconic. Wonder who will take over now

Belinda Carlisle will be upset.

I used to be a landscape gardener for a while and occasionally we struggled to get paid at the end of a job .. usually the bigger , more expensive ones

Soooo rather than engaging solicitors my boss took his mate around in the evening to ‘encourage’ them to pay up ..

Basically he went to the house and asked for the money respectfully then Haystacks who was watching from the van .. used to get out of the van very slowly and strutted , purposely up the path ..

The client always saw reason ..

Haha... I bet it looked like a genie coming out of a bottle.

He was a crazily huge guy .,

He looked about 6’ 7” tall and about the same across .. a walking , talking doorway !!
