I'm still so shocked at this. The more I think about it the more I can't believe it.

I last heard Mike a few weeks ago on a Saturday night, he was back on form and sounded back on top. RIP.

Mike Dickin Has Died
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/6194773.stm
Talk Sport radio presenter Mike Dickin has died in a car crash. He was dubbed Britains Angriest Man, but I really enjoyed his show. He used to do the morning show, which has been taken over by Jon Gaunt, who is nowhere near as good. I'll miss him. |

I've listened to Mike for years. I remember his days on Capital Gold and LBC, as well as TalkSport/Radio.
He is an institution. Sorry for the cliche. Mike talked sense. It is a said day for radio. |

I loved listening to Mike Dickin and admired his range of knowledge, underneath his " grumpiness" he had a wonderful sense of humour.
He will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace, Mike, thank you for the listening. |

Ian Collins did a decent morning show after Mike, but now Gaunt does it, and he is just a loudmouth who has destroyed the show.

You'd like to think his last words were, of course:
"My health is not in question!" I had a preminition about this when I heard part of his show the other night (Saturday night I think) - he seemed very short of breath. So the preminition was right, but was the wrong cause of death. I never liked him or most of his opinions, but I'll readily admit he was entertaining - and professional. |

Wow, seems only five minutes since he was on the air at the time of Diana's car crash. I'd tried listening to his show last weekend too but the radio reception was too bad on my alarm clock radio. This is a sad loss for talk radio. My condolences to his family.

Mike Dickin was in his 60's as far as i know.What a tragedy. He spoke a lot a of plain common sense and was very entertaining most of the time. On a side note , how stupid are Talksport for playing a clip of Mike this afternoon as a mini-tribute , that contained him saying 'Nobody should own a motor car' Talk about insensitive. The news that Mike had died as a result of a car smash was already freely available by the time they played that. May your God go with you Mike !

What can I say, agree with all the sentiments expressed by other users.
Was a bloody damn good listen, down to earth, to the point and suffered no fools. Friday and saturday late nights will never be the same. RIP 'Man of the people'!!!! |
