Oh my God...
This is simply awful.
Clinton was destined to be the best caller of his generation.
With the new TV rights deal set to expire in 2011, he was no doubt set to become the lead caller on FTA TV, surely, with Dennis and Bruce a generation older?
This is such a tragedy. He was such a lovely person- I spent a day with the 3AW Sports Today team in early 2006 - he was such a nice, genuine person - meant no harm to anyone.
RIP Clinton. I can't believe I'm saying this.
Numb.
Well called, Clinton.
