Danny Kelly, football broadcaster and renowned editor, dies aged 69
Danny Kelly, the football broadcaster and former editor of the NME and Q, has died aged 69 after being diagnosed with throat cancer. His death marks the loss of a prominent voice in British sports broadcasting, remembered for his humour, warmth and knowledge of football and music.
