maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted March 13, 2015 Peter was interviewed at Cheltenham by Radio Four's Today programme this morning. Croaky, but mentally sharp, and still up on the runners and riders. He may well see 2016 on that form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,337 Posted July 6, 2015 Well he is 97 and spent five months in hospital last year so even though his mind may be sharp his body is clearly knackered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,535 Posted July 29, 2015 R.I.P. Sir Peter O'Sullevan. I really enjoyed his commentary style and would often try to mimic it when we were given the task of pretending to commentate on a horse race during drama class. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,337 Posted July 29, 2015 The Mirror says he had cancer? I didn't know... The BBC says he died "after a long illness". I know he spent a lot of time in hospital and that he had anemia but no I hadn`t heard about any cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted July 29, 2015 Wow, just when I thought we might be suffering from another "drought". This is a great year! Ironically, the last couple of days I've kind of been really excited every time the 2015 Names got updated, thinking someone had died. Right before I clicked the "Peter O'Sullevan" thread, I told myself to get over it, Peter didn't die. But he did! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know how you mean, you get excited that Deathlist got a hit, but when it sinks in who it was you are then thinking "Oh!!! not..... " 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
