On a good meteorological day, we could pick up Radio Leeds, and listen to his commentary in Salford, and if a BBC GMR team was playing in West Yorks, his commentary was always fed through. Enjoy your retirement Harry.

A victim of the BBC cuts to regional news programming who decided to fall on his sword, there will be a lot more on the way out in TV & Radio and it doesn't bode well for RL coverage either.
