    I recall berating him through a megaphone from the top of the Back to the Valley open top bus in the car park at Selhurst. Bless him... RIP Roy.

    Irrespective of political colour, Roy Hattersley was a true heavyweight politician of the old school. We could do with some more today.

    RIP Roy

    Remember him giving a well ordered speech about being a republican.  A true socialist.

    A top man and, aside from everything else, a seriously good historian and writer and huge dog lover (the Diaries of his staffie X Buster are brilliant).
    RIP Roy
