Re: Gordon Burns - End of an Era

Tony is funny, it doesn't matter what he does he always looks like he's been dragged through a hedge, he used to work on The Nelson Leader and he bought his house off a friend of mine

I thought that someone called Roger Johnson was taking over from Gordon Burns....not Tony Livesey.

He'd be staying the night then ...

Me too, Margaret ... was quite attractive in a charismatic way.
Only met him once at a Christmas do at the Midland Hotel, Man. Absolutely charming man.

Re: Gordon Burns - End of an Era

Introduced to Gordon at Granada Studios way back in the 1980's, during a major enquiry when he was the frontman for 'Police File'. The most amenable and helpful media person I have ever come across. I will always remember him as that rarety: a media personality who was not up his own backside . . . so to speak. Heard his first broadcast on Radio Lancashire last Sunday and it went down very well.

No Kate........I would invite him over for breakfast. I'm not one of those fast cats.
Now you have made me very envious.
