Nobody would want to push him into it if he doesn’t feel he’s up to it, but he’s an icon and a big part of the show. We’ll start having those discussions with him a bit later in the year.” Also, The Mirror claims it was 2 aneurysms (not one) he suffered last year.

YoungWillz 18,950 Posted October 22, 2016 Ach, he's quit before only to be dragged back. I think it's more serious - article says he's still recuperating after all these months, he'll not be fit enough and won't get the insurance. A nice story to show he's ending it on his own terms to cover his ill health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 14,800 Posted October 22, 2016 He’s still very much recuperating and he needs to work out if he wants to be back in the public eye again. As long as he doesn't overdo it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imelda 604 Posted October 22, 2016 He’s still very much recuperating That's code for 'non-recovery' if I ever heard it. Poor old Brucie looks like a shoo-in for most 2017 teams. FACT - I accidentally gatecrashed a wedding a few years ago when I was pub crawling in Windsor outside the Guildhall en route to the Two Brewers where Brucie, larger than life, was posing for pictures with the bride. I may well have ended up in a wedding album somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffinLodger 1,246 Posted October 22, 2016 It's strange how quickly Brucie deteriorated since his op last year. I would have put money on him making it to 100 if anyone would ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,712 Posted October 22, 2016 Strange? He had a ruptured abdominal aneurysm in his mid-80s and survived (c.50% mortality rate post-rupture for folk at working age, let alone beyond the average life expectancy), having previously survived a fall at home with the traditional head injury. He's done very well to make 2016, all things considered. EDIT - It might not have ruptured, though I thought I'd read that, but anyhow - not exactly a thrill for someone of advanced age.
