although i'll be honest, i found some of his material offensive, he was a true legend. If he didnt tell them jokes he would not have been in a position to do all the charity work he did so u take the rough with the smooth. He was a proper manc, no different from me mam n dad and had exactly the same views as them. He was from a different era and the world has moved on since his heyday.
Just a shame he missed out on getting to tell some jokes on salmon rushdie getting a knighthood and the state of man city at the minute.
Hopefully ricky hatton will win for him on saturday night
