Frank, you were a one off. RIP
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
As a kid of the 70s I remember Grandstand with Frank Bough and World of sport with Dickie Davis very well. My dad was always watching them. Frank was an icon of my youth! RIP FB

This is something I'm becoming increasingly aware of - figures like Frank Bough who were genuine household names in my youth, they fade from our screens then one day you realise it's been 10 years since you heard of them at all. And of course they've been slowly succumbing to old age, ending up in a care home like everyone else, no matter who they once were.
All rather depressing. RIP Frank.
I think its the combover. The combover is extinct. Except on the Conservative benches in the House of Commons.There’s a chap on my case load who is about 45 and lives with his mother who is nearly 80. He has a learning disability and autism and his mother chooses all his clothes, I suspect a bunch of them were his late father’s. So it’s cardigans and grey slacks, comfortable shoes - it’s quite hard to get past the idea that he isn’t in his 70s himself because that’s not how 45 year olds dress nowadays. Mention him to anyone who has ever met him and they think he is a pensioner. Yet he has the appropriate amount of wrinkles for his age, it’s just the clothes.
Frank, my dad were of a generation that went out of school uniform and into cheap suits which just looks odd and old these days. My father used to have a story about his first day at work, he would have been 15 I think, he got sent back home because he was still wearing his school shorts. His mother had to find him some long trousers from somewhere and day two of his job he became an old bloke.
