John Lees moves to Saturday mornings only on BBC Sussex

[The Oldman]

No more weekday morning sport bulletins from Leesy. Will miss his outbursts and rants.

 

[dougdeep]

Great man. And not only for putting up with Liz.

 

[vegster]

Yes, I heard this in the car this morning, will be sad to lose him. He has the unique distinction of being the oldest, and only, likable Manchester United fan I know of.

 

[dougdeep]

Did you know that he still holds the record for the fastest time across America from coast to coast?

 

[blue2]

Yes indeed I once broke a world record as part of a team with John

 

[dougdeep]

And did you know that each Christmas he walks to Seaford and back from Portslade?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

And did you know that each Christmas he walks to Seaford and back from Portslade?

Did he say why?

 

[jessiejames]

I met him today,delivering to BBC queens rd he opened the door for me.

 

[BN9 BHA]

And did you know that each Christmas he walks to Seaford and back from Portslade?

What to visit you?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

And did you know that each Christmas he walks to Seaford and back from Portslade?

Did he say why?

Presumably because he imagines that Seaford might be more attractive than Portslade ... until he gets there.

Actually his second team is Liverpool. Pringle is the Manure fan

 

[tinycowboy]

He does NOT like mushroom soup...

 

[dougdeep]

During thunderstorms he goes and sits in his car.

 

[jakarta]

Will he still be doing his wildly eccentric ball-by-ball cricket commentary?

 

[Daffy Duck]

I love it when he goes off on one about West Ham cheating against us in the cup when they played Tevez. He's always saying they owe us some money from that.

Mr Lees is definitely a closet Manc.

 

[ROSM]

Did you know that he still holds the record for the fastest time across America from coast to coast?

A record that is now unlikely to ever be broken as some of the routes no longer allow pedestrians

 

[The Large One]

"And here comes Yardy, he's up to the wicket, he bowls - AND THAT'S A SUPERB COVER DRIVE FOR FOUR! He hit that beautifully of the meat of the bat into the... Oh no, my mistake. He's been clean bowled. THe middle stump is out of the ground and Chris Jordan has his third wicket. Sorry, I mean Yardy has his third wicket.

In fact, that's actually Yardy's first wicket of the innings..." etc.
