When you lose a hero, a small piece of your childhood and teen years dies with them. RIP Rick Buckler

Had a great chat at the lunch table with senior football people on Thursday and tipped Chelsea to win the title. Stand by it. Just feel they’ve got astonishing momentum

To be fair, reporters could fill nights with their own Jack stories such was his legend. He will be sadly missed And, no, he was never a postman…

Jack was also the teller of dreadful dad jokes, like the time he went to Munich, ordered dry white and got three glasses. You had to be there but it still made me laugh the 20th time I heard it

He also had the kind of distinctive voice that made everybody want to impersonate him (affectionately) and he once only came third in a Jack Steggles-soundalike competition behind Steve Stammers and Nigel Clarke

So sad to hear that Jack Steggles has passed away at the age of 90. He was an absolute legend of the tabloid industry, a true old school reporter who was warm, funny, incredibly kind and a great story getter.

All Played Out by Pete Davies. It’s almost 25 years old but still a brilliant insight into both football and journalism from the days when access was wide open. Great stories from Italia 90 - by far the best World Cup of modern times
