Used to be shocked at the things he got away with saying under that pseudonym. That was 20 years ago, Christ knows how they'd look reading them now.

2009 talking about UK political scene:

"Extremism is about to rule. The sad thing is, they haven’t even had to kick down the door. It’s been left off the latch for them"

Thanks to his columns I discovered footballers could be more than alcoholics or gambling fiends on their days off, would’ve loved to find out who the player going to gay massage parlours was RIP

Them years

French shithouse

Such a shame, wish I knew he was on Twitter all these years, loved his writing.

Looking through the condolences on the tweet from his wife hard to fathom he had a ‘real life’ outside of Mr Spleen. Lots of heartfelt messages from colleagues and friends from the the gentile Cotswolds publications and such like. Even from Emma Samms (one from the memory banks).

Always remember he'd refer to Rooney as Spud Faced Nipper.

Loved reading his section and so did my Dad.

Rest easy Mr Spleen.

He did like SJH.

Fergie should have signed him for a laugh just to hear Spleen's reaction.

Just Giving page in memory of Mr Spleen.
