Such sad news… He was an incredible broadcaster; so much knowledge, enthusiasm and warmth. I could listen to him on the radio for hours and would look forward to every link, when I’d no doubt learn something new.
Thoughts with all of his friends, colleagues and family.

[talkSPORT @talkSPORT]

We are heartbroken to share that our much-loved friend and colleague Danny Kelly has died, aged 69.

A cherished part of talkSPORT for so many years, Danny brought extraordinary wit, warmth and knowledge to our airwaves. His passion for football, music and life was infectious, and his kindness touched everyone around him.

“I love football, Stan. I love it.”

We loved you, Danny. We’ll miss you dearly.

Our thoughts are with Danny’s family, friends and everyone who loved listening to him.

@Joe_Fischetti5 Hi Joe, would you mind following me so I can send you a DM about something please?

[John Bennett @JohnBennettBBC]

Watched PSG last night.

The frightening thing is that they didn’t really need to get out of first gear… and they still won 6 nil.

4 nil up in 16 minutes.

That’s without Dembele, & without Kvaratskhelia.

Amid the egos that can go out of control with the Ballon D’Or, Kane is a good, diligent, hard-working - and exceptionally talented - professional.

Actually feels a bit of a winner from another era, in a good way.
