RIP Sir Jim.
Leeds lad done good. Used to love seeing him when I worked at the flying pizza. Always a kind word, a handshake and plenty of banter. A true one off.

It really brings home our mortality when people, characters and stars synonymous with your youth pass away.....bumped into him a couple of times when living near Roundhay Park. A great man.

I knew a couple of folk that worked at the station and as a result of his 'Age Of The Train' adverts from the 70s, Savile had a v.rare 'Gold Card' that effectively allowed him to go where and when he liked for nothing.
This didn't stop him having a laugh and joke with the staff, who otherwise were having a hard day and generally cheering everyone up. The sort of bloke that the staff used to look forward popping by (unlike some other arrogant deceased local 'celebrities' that I could mention)
It is also worth remembering that whenever he had some spare time, he'd pop down the LGI and shove a few trollies around as a voulenteer porter too.

I remember him at the Leeds Mecca, (the one in the arcade) in the 60's. You could go in at lunchtime and have a sandwich, hear the latest singles and rub shoulders with members of the great Leeds United team that regularly went there after training.'"
Except perhaps Gary Sprake ?  |

Oh yes he was there too. But he did keep dropping his cheese and tomato sarnies!
