One of the great commentators of our time. Heard he was battling the big C but so sorry it got the better of him today.
I strongly recommend his autobiography an absolute classic. The Road Back Home : a Northern Childhood.
RIP Sid.

Classic Sid Waddell comment when Eric Bristow won the world championship: "When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer... Bristow's only 27." Great man.
