There is little I can say that hasn't already been said. We are the poorer from his passing.

When I think of Channel 7's present commentators, I truly hope someone like him comes again, because the ones there aren't fit for purpose.
I remember Clinton Grybas, I thought he had the makings of a legendary caller and I thought he would eventually take over the mantle from DC. Alas he is also no longer with us, taken far too soon.
On radio there is no better callers than Whately and Hudson IMO. There are no more annoying callers than Taylor and Brayshaw.
Clinton was very professional and a big supporter of his local basketball club and has his name on the wall in the stadium, nice down to earth bloke and agree he would have been a long time legendary caller.

Barlow to Bateman, hawks attacking alphabetically

I remember hearing (since been confirmed) that he used to do a morning radio spot in wa, on a Friday morning. Callers would ring in and give him a line from a song to sneak into that weekends comms.  This was before the internet and social media, so we, in the east were none the wiser.   You would occasionally hear him drop a “like a virgin touched for the very first time” or “this looks like a job for me everybody just follow me” but didn’t realise why he was doing it.   Gold
