A brilliant newspaper columnist and writer. An inspiration. Wish he was around today.

[@CarlWinslow346]

The Good Rat is an excellent mob saga, brilliantly researched

[@hope2165]

An earthy dignity few can match, or replicate today.

[@richardlucas351]

Yeah. Unlike the current Times lineup, he couldn’t be bought or silenced.

[@nevincaulfield]

RIP Jimmy. Queens to the bone.

[@JamieJobb]

And don't forget the great sports editor of The Birmingham News: Benny Marshall.
