English football writer?

Am looking for the name of one particular guy, always liked listening to him. He was very well known, he died a few years ago. Would have been getting on in age, he always seemed lethargic when he was on tv, spoke slowly, never got flustered, needed a good shake tbh. Don't know what paper he wrote for, he wrote books on Utd and England though, I know that is bugger all to go on but its £#%&!ing annoying me.

Anyone?

David Lacey?

Only died last year

Was also going to suggest Hugh mcilvenny but he’s jockanese

David Meek?

Nope, not them. I'd say he died maybe five or six years ago but when I eventually get it I'll find he likely died 20 years ago

hugh mcilvanney?

*Got him. He didn't die 20 years ago. He's still alive ffs. Nor did he write about Utd. Christ

Brian Glanville btw.

I saw Des in Carlow a few weeks ago. He was handing Bibles out to people outside a shopping center. Looked very gaunt and pale.

Well, I think it was Des Lynan anyway.
