I had no idea he played for Northampton Town. I’d like to think he helped them beat Vale at some point in his short career

Worked with Buddy Holly, the Beatles and Morcambe and wise, not a bad life.

Always looked the picture of health... even in very recent pics taken by his daughter visiting whilst he was shielding.
Fathered a son at 72; quite some feat in itself and was quoted as saying 'if I live as long as my own father - he died at 95 - I should be around to see Adam get married. I do get concerned that one day he’ll realise his dad is older than the other fathers, but I can’t do anything about that'
Des will have been derided by younger generations because of his clean cut image and old style humour but he was a truly great entertainer.
Give our best to Eric and Ernie Des

Worked with Buddy Holly, the Beatles and Morcambe and wise, not a bad life. Duetted with Sinatra, Streisand, Neil Diamond can't be many out there with his list of achievements and of course coming over as a really nice bloke who knew how to laugh at himself, RIP Des.

Quality old school variety entertainer. I saw him a Jollees in the mid 70's.
