Just seen the announcement on Look North, Amy Garcia was absolutely distraught.
RIP Harry.

He and Amy Garcia interviewed me live in the Look North Studio a couple of years ago. He was such a top bloke and went out of his way to meet up for a brew in the canteen before the show started. Off air he was a sound bloke and very professional on air.

They were very close friends he and Amy, I can imagine she must be so upset.

RIP Harry old fella.

Just came across as a lovely bloke.

Used to chuckle at his totally blinkered attitude towards Yorkshire cricket, too (shouting at the tv 'How did Derbyshire go on yest'di then, Harry!?' when we beat 'em).

Seem to remember he became a dad later in life?

He'll clearly be misses by many, many people.

He was a top bloke. Got chatting to him at a town game a few years back on the West Stand concourse when we were in the football league, did we play Bradford in a pre season friendly? He was sound and a big football fan

RIP Harry. Him and Christa on screen while we had tea was pretty much the first 18 years of my life

very sad news, he was such a nice bloke.

My lasting memory will be scoring against him when he was the goalkeeper of a Look North XI in a charity match at Saltergate in 1991

Why would someone post something unpleasant on a thread like this?

Idiotic but debating it is counterproductive

Indeed. Plenty of places here to squabble.
