You're tellin me in 24 hrs, the NVidia CEO steps down in a spy scandal, all of Microsoft & Outlook goes down globally, a building collapses in NYC, a Tanker sinks a River cruise ship in New Orleans and now the FAA has grounded ALL flights across the country?! WTF is going on??

[Lance Wilson @LanceW7]

@andybrassell Andy, not sure you’ll ever see this but thank you so much for the best show on the radio the last 10 years. Trans Europe Express was enjoyed by me every Sunday in Western Kentucky and will be missed. You’re both world class professionals. Best in the business.

[Danny Kelly @dannykellywords]

@andybrassell Andy, thank you so much for all the brilliant Trans Europe Express shows with Danny. You’ve got a fan for life here in Kentucky

[Lance Wilson @LanceW7]

@kevinhatchard @dannykellywords Danny Kelly leading Trans Europe Express is the best football program I’ve had the privilege of listening to. Nothing compares

@Anthony89600815 @kevinhatchard @dannykellywords Genuinely… I’m so sad. I’ve shed many tears today for a man I’ve never met.

[Andy Kelly @AndyK_LivNews]

Like so many of us he loved music and sport but unlike most of us he had the ability to talk and write about it in a way which enthralled and inspired so many. Under the Moon was a brilliant little show and beloved by many in that era. Rest amid great tunes Danny Kelly. 🎸

This morning I was told of the passing of my good friend and colleague, Danny Kelly. The tributes to him in the coming days from those who knew him and worked with him will give you an idea of how much he was loved.

I loved him too. Very much so. A man who I called "Dad" on air because I wished he was. I hope you give me a few minutes to read my thoughts, and I hope they do you justice, Dan.

By 2008 I was a mess. I would sleep 18 hours a day, the other 6 mostly wanting to die. Once or twice a week I would open my laptop, organise football tabs, gossip and news as prep for jobs in broadcasting that I knew would never come, "just in case". When hope dies, we die, after all.

Then Danny Kelly came into my life.

I was driving out of London having been to see a psychiatrist about the state I was in and had BBC London on the radio. Danny was presenting with a guest, reviewing books. My name came up in the conversation, so I called in.

We hit it off straight away, talked about football for what seemed like forever but was probably a standard 10-12 minute section. But for me it sparked a temporary respite from sleep and chronic mental health issues and even for that I was grateful.

A couple of years later Danny joined talkSPORT to do the 7-10pm slot through the week. He told me he was offered a few co-presenters but he remembered that conversation we had and he wanted me to do it.

A lifeline of work, passionately talking about our sport, having fun and feeling a value as a human again. Something lost for 7 long years.

Danny gifted me that. Without that I know I wouldn't be writing this today.

"Always fresh, never frozen" was the tagline in a Domino's read we had to do in the show, something we'd instinctively greet each other with until our last meeting, in a pub, broadcasting for talkSPORT around 3 years ago. I didn't know that time would be the last, but perhaps fittingly we hugged as I left, I'm glad I did.

The shows were loved. They were funny, honest, insightful and I hope, along with Saggers after that, proof that Danny's belief in me was worthy. But to say my love for him was only thanks for a job doesn't even scratch the surface.

His kindness, his phone calls late at night ( Dan was a notorious night owl) of support, his man hugs, his indomitable spirit, his big brain on anything from football to music to geopolitics, his love, as I know many others will testify, came from the biggest of hearts and the biggest of souls housed in a giant of a man in every sense.

Dan, thank you, thank you for the kindness, the fun, the hope, the support and for being someone to look up to and aspire to be.

I love you very much, I know I'll hug you again some day. Thank you for everything.

"I love football Stan, I love it ".

[Sid Lowe @sidlowe]

Danny Kelly was one of the good guys. Rest in power.

[Lance Wilson @LanceW7]

@NimeshM19231867 @Tim_Vickery I agree and I also have not seen it mentioned elsewhere. Was just talking to my brother about musical homework etc. Just a brilliant program all around. Won’t be another like it

[Raphael Honigstein💙 @honigstein]

Desperately sad news. One of the best - and nicest - people in the business and beyond. May his memory be a blessing.

[Tottenham Hotspur @SpursOfficial]

The entire Tottenham family mourns the loss of one of our own, broadcasting legend Danny Kelly.

Our thoughts and love are with his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.

Rest in peace, Danny 🤍

[Alex Turk @TurkTalksFC]

Scandalous how Clive Tyldesley isn’t a core fixture in one of the UK broadcasters’ football coverage.

Still one of the very best. Compare him to some of the regulars we have to put up with at the moment…

[Liam @Liam_J20]

Criminal he’s not British coverage of UCL or prem
