Thread: Death of Alan Freeman

petal · 28-11-2006, 05:21 PM

Alan Freeman (known to most as 'Fluff') died today aged 79. He was a regular DJ on Sunday afternoons for many years with his 'pop pickers' catch phrase.
I'm sure he'll be missed by many.
God Bless you 'Fluff'

He was a brilliant bloke Flood. Did the Top 40 on Sunday (or was it 20?). Always said 'welcome pop pickers'.

I never missed listening to 'fluff' on a Sunday afternoon playing the top twenty hits. I can still remember the first couple of intro bars to his theme tune at the start of the programme. Great days the swinging 60's and early 70's !
