    Always remember the case when he got chased after someone with a metal pole - unless my mind is playing tricks on me?

    Was a very brave man given those criminals that sought vengeance following his exposure of their deeds

    Will be much missed. We need more investigative journalists of his ilk nowadays.

    RIP Roger.

    Sad news was watching an episode of his the other day when he was seeking out the triads.

    Birmingham away in the early 90s ended up in a pub and we got talking to a couple of Lorry drivers who informed it was run by triads. You take these stories with a pinch of salt until about a month later I was watching the Cook Report and Roger exposed the pub for what it was. I learnt some people do not exaggerate their stores  :)
