Danny Kelly appreciation thread

[Midfield_General]

Not directly Saints-related, but hopefully it gets a pass as it's the international break. 

Couldn't see an existing thread, so (prompted by CB in the Austin thread), just to say RIP to Danny Kelly who passed away this week. 

I used to love Under The Moon when I was a student. Three hours of loosely sport-related live chaos, all tucked away late at night on terrestrial TV before we had Sky. A particular favourite was Ken Monkou getting more and more visibly pissed up as he got on it while taking calls for a phone-in. 

Founder of Football365 which to me felt like the first football website that successfully understood fan culture. Pretty much the only good thing about TalkSport. Highly knowledgable and passionate about not only football, but music too, as a former editor of the NME. 

Always came across as warm, funny and was one of those people that apparently no-one had a bad word to say about off-screen. Numerous stories being shared by people who he helped and mentored. The 365 tribute was really nice:

Felt like he was one of the good guys. RIP.

Absolutely the highlight of Talksport. Or anything else really. How many people could you just listen to talk about anything, knowing it's going to be not only interesting and knowledgeable, but also open and happy to get others involved.
