Ogawd, now he was always a prize prick. I used to know him when he worked for BBC Radio Derby and he was completely insufferable even then. Did his career eventually crash & burn?

AFAIK he's still doing his old Manchester Evening News column (Friday's edition, round up of the weekend gigs) and presenting on BBC Radio Manchester and Talk Sport.
Sadly for the rest us it didn't. Try googling and pay particular attention to the wikipedia entries for details. He appears to be doing quite well for himself.

Accompanied by the sound of a chisel on slate Andy Terry Christian is ok. He's "Comedy Manc", Noel Gallagher is "A Manc you'd have a spliff with", Liam Gallagher is pretty well regarded as well. The old Scousers V Mancs thing is pretty dead nowadays amongst the grown ups, but Hucknall and some other losers keep trying to bring it up. -- Pete M - That Scouse Git - OMF#9 W&P Range Rover V8 Turbo Golf GTi 2.0 (Mk2 - proper one) Golf GTi Mk1 (For Sale)
The mancs are right. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindu, the whole fucking lot of them, each and every god botherer on the planet is twat.
Accompanied by the sound of a chisel on slate The Older No doubt, and I've got a fondness for some 'Pistols tunes, but Tony Wilson putting them on TV hardly made them. The Pistols /big/ TV appearance was the legendary Bill Grundy interview which was less than 3 months later. They were already gigging in Paris and appearing at Punk festivals /before/ Wilsons little show. Music is a subjective thing, everyone has their own tastes, there are brilliant artists out there waiting to be discovered every day. People like Wilson who only do it for self-publicity shouldn't be allowed near music.. -- Pete M - That Scouse Git - OMF#9 W&P Range Rover V8 Turbo Golf GTi 2.0 (Mk2 - proper one) Golf GTi Mk1 (For Sale) Listening to "The Dead Class - No" - Video now on Youtube.

You say that like that would be a bad thing.. You say that like that would be a bad thing.. What - you mean talentless, derivative drivel sold by marketing companies to credulous teenagers? Phil.
Prog was never the real enemy of punk - most of the prog bands had already drifted out of the public gaze by the time punk started to become mainstream (apart from the really big people like Genesis/Yes et. al.). There were (and are) quite a lot of people (like me) who will quite happily listen to the Undertones one minute and Kaipa the next.. Phil.
