Class and grace is priceless, and this is it.

more of this person plz .....

[@damienabbott9805]

Des was a consummate professional and such a likeable guy. I remember once he was outside Highbury after the North London Derby in August 1997 and he was stopped by a large group of youngsters who all wanted wanted his autograph. He didn't leave until he had signed every single one. Such was the decency of the man.

Des was the man 👍😉

Big Des the smoothie - absolute legend, silver foxed silver tongued stalwart who clearly got our Sue a bit flustered without even raising his moustache - babe magnet extraordinaire and just the best sports anchor ever

[@spanishpeaches2930]

Frank Bough as just as professional and unflustered...however, Des is Des and was allowed a twinkle in his eye and the ladies loved him and the guys wanted a drink with him.

[@GILLY56ify]

Des comes across as the consummate professional even with this little lookback as he talks to Sue Barker Presenters of today take note that this is how a master of his profession does it ...

[@jlk760]

A great reminder of my childhood growing up pre Sky Soprts days. Hope Des is enjoying retirement.

[@josephlandrut4154]

Des Lynam and I will both live a long life providing we have quality care because Des is 79 and has just turned 85.

Legend. What a guy! Fantasy stag day - Des you're in you smoothie.

[@damienabbott9805]

Best BBC presenters: Des for Grandstand Harry for Sports Night Jimmy for MOTD Bob for Football Focus Steve Ryder was also an excellent presenter.

[@spanishpeaches2930]

Des was to presenting what Lineker is to migrant loving, virtue signalling.

[@TimboTravels]

Lineker showed warmth to people less fortunate than yourself what a terrible bloke.

[@damienabbott9805]

As Des rightlly said, "Gary Lineker" should stick to football."
