RIP Sir Jimmy

He was an eccentric larger than life character whom everyone had a great affection for and he will be very sadly missed. I would love to know how much money he has raised for charity throughout his life?

According to some sites, he raised £40 million for charity. That's impressive.

Quote: Juan Cornetto "RIP Jimmy.

My dad taught him at school at a similar time to Peter O'Toole.

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.'"

I remember that period too

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.

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