Yes on the light programme with Sports report, the music driving home from a match, Eamon Andrews?, and a Larry Canning report which was always very hard as he seemed to see every fault, but Dave's super quote explains all. When Villa won well though he could not disguise his pleasure. Those days when games everywhere began at 3pm, and reports were relied upon to tell the story until the Argus appeared. , folk like Larry were the sole source of opinion and what was taken as fact.

One of his catchphrases was, "I'd like to say Villa played well today, but I can't..."

Always a voice worth hearing, critical but compassionate.

Sorry to hear. Really nice bloke. Used to play golf with him years back when I lived in Sutton.

Used to love listening to his witty comments in the late 70s on the old radio birmingham- a great broadcaster and one of those people who listening to was a pleasure- r.i.p larry.
