Sorry to read on Ceefax that Emlyn Hughes has passed away aged JUST 57. Loved him on Question of Sport... : <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Yep, back in the 70s. I think the original quizmaster was David Coleman!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/hump.gif" alt="" />


David Coleman certainly took the helm for a while - but I think David Vine may have started it all off.

Whatever, the show was at it's peak for entertainment value when Hughsie was on it.

Quite right Dave. Found this on the BBC website....I need to get out more!!!

 

On the first show, hosted by David Vine, team captains Henry Cooper and Cliff Morgan were joined by George Best, Ray Illingworth, Lillian Board and Tom Finney. [color:"purple"] [/color]

He was always very popular -even if you didn't support liverpool.saw him at west ham a few times helping liverpool turn us over. I last saw him play at Fulham for swansea 1984ish and remember leroy rosenior running him ragged in a 5-0 defeat he quit soon after that. It was a pleasure watching him lift the european cup.
