Rod Liddle certainly had an interesting life as the one page obituary in The Times today testifies. Born in Sidcup, he supported Millwall rather than Charlton as part of a more general rebellion against his strait laced parents.
In the various media outlets he wrote for he has been a scourge of Charlton over the years. It was typical of his provocative style of journalism. He certainly could write in a way that grabbed the attention of readers.
In particular he was front man for the campaign initiated by Spectator editor 'daddy dancing king' Lord Gove against the 'Charltification' of football.
Presumably this role will now be taken on in the Spectator by QPR fan Lord Young of Acton who tried to lure VOTV editor Rick Everitt whom he tried to lure to a confrontation on Margate beach last autumn. Having failed, he then attacked the Rickster in his column.
There is speculation that he is going to enlist his QPR mates Louis Theroux and Giles Coren in a new expedition to Margate.
