I remember watching Z-cars when I was young. To be honest I thought that he had died a couple of years ago.

He had a nice accent

I didn't really know him but we had a few drink one afternoon in the Club Bar on University Road.
The bar was nearly empty after the lunchtime drinkers left but as the day wore on the people who came in sort of gravitated around him. He had loads of yarns and was, as they say great craic.

Sandy, how lovely, I'd have really liked to meet him.

I remember the day but I'm ashamed to say not much of what was said. :-)
