FRANK BOUGH was a 'Regular Host of Grandstand 1968-1983'
So I take it that fellow GRANDSTAND stand-in host, MR ICKE - would have known him quite well then?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke
Icke found a job in 1973 as a reporter with the weekly Leicester Advertiser, through a contact who was a sports editor at the Daily Mail, though he writes that he got the job because he was the only applicant.[19] He advanced quickly through local radio to television, and became a regional sports presenter for the BBC's South Today in 1982, around the time his first son was born, and the year he moved to Ryde on the Isle of Wight, somewhere he had always wanted to live. He appeared on the first edition of British television's first national breakfast show, Breakfast Time, on January 17, 1983, presenting the sports news for them until 1985.[20] He published his first book in 1983, It's a tough game, son! about football and how to break into it. He worked for BBC Sport until August 1990, often as a stand-in host on Grandstand and snooker programmes, and also at the 1988 Summer Olympics, but a career in television began to lose its appeal for him—he wrote in Tales from the Time Loop that he found the people working in television to be insincere, shallow, and vicious, with rare exceptions.[21]
I now have to type in a RED code: dists
