I met him in roundhay park after drinking cider from a 2ltr bottle when I was about 16 (you know you have all done it), even then when I must have been a pretty annoying tw4t he was still a nice genuine guy!

Raised over £40m for charity... RIP Jimmy  :cry:

In all honesty my high school is only a couple of miles from roundhay park where he lived and alot of the kids at the time loved jimmy saville and would see him regularily at the park or local shops. He always had time for anyone that wanted to chat, and was always a gentleman.


Anytime someone is a little not normal whatever that may be, and they are classed as a kiddy fiddler. Just so wrong in my opinion... no one that knew him had a bad word to say about him. £40 raised for charity.... i thikn that says everything you need to know about the man. :cool:

Yep, he seemed a strange one from the media and documentrys.

But honest and passionate about his work

Just a very private man and in these media frenzy days he was an enigma, hence nasty unfounded rumours.

Was the first DJ back in the late 40's (1948) so anybody into that kind of thing should thank and praise him!

Will be sorely missed.

A Leeds legend - RIP.

My mum and dad knew him in the 1960s as he was a well known figure in the nightclub circuit in Leeds. Apparently a top bloke according to them. Also did some ace 1970s British Rail ads, the likes of which we will never see again.
