Was a stalwart of Swindon Radio in general. Real shame, you got to feel for the kids... RIP Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: Saxondale on Friday, March 18, 2011, 17:38:46 Is sad.....remember seeing him in Pantomine years back. I know this is a serious thread, but I feel someone has to say it Oh no you didnt! Sorry. RIP Sandy. Another very young death. Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: leefer on Friday, March 18, 2011, 17:40:07 Oh yes i did!...bugging me know who was the star that year....may have been squeely bealy from Eastenders.
Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, March 18, 2011, 17:57:11 Thats really sad he was a top bloke, always sounded arrogant on the radio but was a genuinely nice bloke RIP.
Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: Hitchinred on Friday, March 18, 2011, 18:50:37 Feel like I grew up with him from Wednesday's nappy night at the Brunel Rooms through Disco Trekking and a familiar voice on the radio when back in Swindon. RIP
Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: dogs on Friday, March 18, 2011, 19:09:52 Used to see him on the bus from town to old town only 3 months ago - nonethewiser.
He also seemed to show a genuine interest in the town and the football club, even though he was from the north east. A great shame. Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: Sippo on Friday, March 18, 2011, 19:29:17 My missus looked after his twins in special care, so knew the family quite well. He was a proper gent apparently. Such a young age to pass away.
Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: Ardiles on Saturday, March 19, 2011, 07:08:31 That's terrible news. A name I've not heard in years...but remember him well. RIP Sandy.
Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: Rustle on Saturday, March 19, 2011, 07:15:01 Sad news indeed i also have fond memories of him doing the brunel rooms on a saturday nights.
R.I.P Sandy Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: BANGKOK RED on Saturday, March 19, 2011, 07:18:43 WTF
RIP Sandy Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Saturday, March 19, 2011, 08:15:23 Really sad :( RIP
Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: A Gent Orange on Saturday, March 19, 2011, 08:50:52 Having worked with him, he was a genuinely warm and utterly lovely man. Always interested in others and without ego, despite his success.
Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: mrverve on Saturday, March 19, 2011, 09:27:13 This is really, really sad news. I'm too young to have remembered him from the Brunel room days, but have met him on a few occasions and always had time to stop and chat, a generally really nice bloke. Thoughts are with his friends and especially his family. Poor kids, not to grow up with a dad. It puts everything else in perspective. :no:
Title: Re: Sandy Martin Post by: Bewster on Saturday, March 19, 2011, 10:34:39 I used to play footy with him back in the day - top bloke and like everyone has said very genuine and friendly.
RIP Sandy. |
