He was far better than most journos in his time
Loved his footy and for him it was the stories that were important not his ego

RIP Meatloaf. Bat out of Hell is one of the best albums ever, every song a classic.

Great partnership with Jim Steinman.

I'l confess I thought he was already dead.

Had a colourful life did Fred, pretty bloody good footballer back in the day.
