Shocked and saddened to hear that Mel Watman has passed away. His love and knowledge of athletics was beyond compare. He was such a kind man, a true gentleman. https://athleticsweekly.com/athletics-news/legendary-athletics-writer-mel-watman-dies-from-cancer-aged-83-1039949759/
I heard recently he wasn’t well. I emailed him just 3 weeks ago & had a rapid response of ‘thanks .. recovering well’ .. I am heartbroken to hear of his passing. This man was amazing in so many ways .. I will miss him very much. What a sad day. A gentleman. Mel Watman ❤️. RIP 😢
