Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

TBH I had no idea he was still alive.  I thought he'd gone in the 90's

Also surprised that he was still alive.

I follow boxing when I can and I can honestly say that, because I have literally never seen him on any Boxing programme as a pundit or being interviewed, I thought he must have died in the 60s or 70s.
Some people say I'm self-obsessed but that's enough about them.

I believe he died pretty often round then, Lee - as a stand-up!
