Oh this is sad news. I remember spending New Years Eve with him in Tenerife about 20 years ago.

I was over there with Chris Pyatt and he was in training over there to fight Lennox Lewis (I think). RIP

Very sad news. He was immense in his day and if he was boxing today where the quality is that bit lower from the days he was fighting I have no doubt that he would be up challenging for a world title.

It started in a pub conversation about old radio 1 DJ s and their catchphrases etc, and we got around to Mike Smith .

He didn't seem to have any particular catchprases as such , but someone remembered that he used to do this weekly obituary thing where he made some connection between the person and some sort of euphemism for their death .

it was just a gentle bit of humour to go with someone's passing and hopefully inoffensive

we couldn't remember any examples specifically but the sort of examples we came up with to explain it were ;

RIP Percy Thrower ( tv gardener )

one day picking up daises

next day pushing up daises

RIP Harry Ramsden

one day frying chips

next day cashing in chips

i was trying to "resurrect" this gentle bit of fun and hoping a few FT posters with more creative minds than me will latch on and join in :)

That sort of thing? :dunno::ph34r:

R.I.P Gary, remember him as a decent fighter and (judging by interviews) a nice guy. Sad news. :(
