Danny Kelly gave me a break at Total Sport Magazine when I was a bit lost professionally in my 20s. His office was an extraordinary jolt of energy, creativity + wit. I loved it
I’d spend half the week at The Mail - suit, tie + right wing politics - and the rest with Danny + Total Sport - jeans, T shirt + Public Enemy on the stereo, Friday nights in Soho at The Coach + Horses, Danny buying drinks
Thank you, Danny for showing me there was a different way. RIP
We are heartbroken to share that our much-loved friend and colleague Danny Kelly has died, aged 69.
A cherished part of talkSPORT for so many years, Danny brought extraordinary wit, warmth and knowledge to our airwaves. His passion for football, music and life was infectious, and his kindness touched everyone around him.
“I love football, Stan. I love it.”
We loved you, Danny. We’ll miss you dearly.
Our thoughts are with Danny’s family, friends and everyone who loved listening to him.

Nov. 11, 1979 — The Denver Broncos pummeled the New England Patriots 45–10 at Mile High. Prior to the game, Robin Williams—of "Mork & Mindy" fame—both amused the crowd and made history by becoming the first male cheerleader in team history, trotting out with the Pony Express!
As it’s on Amazon Prime time for a rewatch of one of the greatest miniseries of all time. #BandofBrothers

FIFA assessed existing Old Trafford as a Women's WC venue at 4.1/5, saying the planned new Man United stadium "remained at an early stage of development, with the conceptual design subject to further detailed planning".
Highest scored club stadiums Spurs & Everton 4.6/5

One of my favourite Danny Kelly views was that all footballers should have to wear black boots and could only wear different colours when they reached particular levels of quality, as with judo belts. “Only Messi and Ronaldo would be qualified to choose any colour they liked.”
Awful news. Danny was a brilliant broadcaster. His interview show and Trans-Europe Express was comfortably the best football show on TalkSport for years.
My great friend, supreme broadcaster and funniest man I ever knew, Danny Kelly, died yesterday afternoon.
I cannot believe I will never hear his voice again.

Showing my age as I remember watching the highlights on Rugby Special Wales. Had just been to see Cardiff v Newport a few weeks before mainly to see Terry Holmes play.
Who remembers Alan Phillips scoring this beauty vs @MaoriAllBlacks!?
Terry Holmes breaking ankles back in the 80s!

As I've said I think there's some collective responsibility for us to accept around #RussellBrand. I don't mean literally everyone of course, but we need to recognise what kind of culture was promoted/consumed in the noughties, of which Brand was a product. Who have we here? 1/3

Seems I forgot the Readers Poll from the first issue of the year! Melody Maker, 4 January 1997. #MyLifeInTheUKMusicPress #MelodyMaker #1997

Ben Earl has 7 midfield carries in 25 minutes.
Our best back-row carrier had 7 in 80 yesterday.
Earl is punching big holes and England are finding edges because of it.

Not for the faint-hearted 😅
Abseilers have scaled the 135m London Eye to inspect more than 12,000 new LED lights ahead of its Christmas displays.
A team of specialists spent 1,000 hours installing the lights across the landmark.
From 14 November, the London Eye will host free light shows every 15 minutes from dusk throughout the festive period.

Another nervy 4th quarter win for the Broncos. Shame #Redzone seem to show so little of it compared to the Rams v Commanders and Browns v Saints games.

A win but the 2nd half was poor. Lineout malfunction all game. Not playing what is in front of them with needless kicking ball away and failing to go through phases to put Japan under any sort of pressure. #WalvJap
