Outstanding human being, from what could be gathered from interviews, having never met him. Definitely too young to pass. RIP Andrew, thanks for being a major contributor to my early 'actually some of this dance s**t is okay innit?' years. :( :notworthy:

RIP also to the legendary Harry Gregg. Not only a pretty decent goalkeeper for Manchester United, also rather a good man to have around in a crisis.

A sad day on both counts, well said sir. Respect from the other Red tribe.

Aye, there's many a classic tune and a whole genre that a very young me would never have investigated and happily fallen into, if it wasn't for him and a couple of other like minded Musicians and DJ's :notworthy:

This interview gives a fair measure of the fellow...
