Once saw him do an absolutely hilarious impression of a character called Albert Tatlock from Coronation Street. It was either in that same programme or a later one he made a joke about Albert Tatlock dying, unfortunately the actor who played said character actually died that day or the day after. Once that happened the knives were out for him and he pretty much disappeared from view.

RIP Mike, but did someone say 'Albert Tatlock'?

RIP Mike, but did someone say 'Albert Tatlock'?

Memories of a pissed up argument about Kenny Dalglish. I insisted he shouldn't be in the song. Not a TV star. My mate reckoned being on match of the day every other week meant he was. It was never resolved adequately.

We didn't shy away from the big issues of the day back then.
