Mike Dickin

"Words almost fail me at this time and I will be saying how I felt about Mike Dickin over the weekend.

Over the past 5/6 months, since i moved to the weekend shows I have had the pleasure of chatting with Mike for our crossovers. Every weekend I look forward to that moment and tragically that moment has been taken from me, I loved our chats both on and off air. I had the pleasure of working with Mike Dickin at LBC in the old 'Hammersmith' days, he was a real fun person who did mix with many of the others in the company, not the loner some make him out to be.

Many may not be aware that Mike had a wicked sense of humour, on one occassion he lept across the on air studio at LBC with his trousers down trying to put off Sue Lloyd as she was about to do a link, it didnt work, she did the link and didn't laugh until after the mic was switched off.

He enjoyed life to the full, played hard and worked harder. He was the true professional on air and is certainly a true legend and is a great loss to us all, not just at talkSPORT who worked with him but the listeners and more especially his family who he held so dear. My thoughts and condolances and best wishes go out to them at this tragic time."
