I only knew of him through his columns in the Post and the Sun but he seemed a funny enough bloke and loved racing and racing people. Shame he died but at least he had a long and varied life. Hope he didn’t suffer etc n thoughts to his family and friends.
If I’ve interpreted what I’ve read today correctly, Stan, I don’t think he suffered much, if at all. Alastair Down infers today that Sir Clement just went like that, suddenly, whilst writing at his desk; whilst Libby Purves in the
Times
indicates she spoke to him earlier this week with nothing about that correspondence presaging his subsequent demise.

Since it seems appropriate to the subject of TRF, an anecdote reported in my paper today.
At a lunch to launch the original racing channel, Frued was asked if he followed the horses.
"Yes, but unfortunately the horses I follow also tend to follow the horses."

Isn’t that just a typical Freudism?
It was good to see The Post reprinting some of his work in today’s paper – it certainly brightened up the flight to Ayr.
Seconded, Paul and AP – some fine Freudisms quoted on the Morning Line this morning also.
