I was at that Brighton Centre dinner. DK took the microphone from George and gruffly told the large audience to show respect!Lovely man, had the pleasure of meeting him twice, once in 1975 when his brother, Peter, (father of Ben) was playing for Ford Prison FC (my dear old Dad was senior probation officer at the time) and then in 2001 at the Albion's Centenary Dinner. (A tough gig for him that night, an after dinner sppech to a around 1,000 diners, 80% of whom had no interest in listening to him)

Not if you are setting up another thread about George Cohen dyingIn fairness, "George Cohen" was a pretty vague thread title...
