That was exactly my thoughts. Ive met Colin and chatted to him, lovely man, great journo in his day and condolensces to his family. But his day was a long time ago, everytime he was interviewed in the last 25 years he mentioned the rumble in the jungle etc and it got a tad tiresome. But of course, RIP Colin, another legend lost.

I think almost every older person uses repeated reference points in their anecdotes. I certainly do. By the turn of the millennium (25 years ago), Colin was at state pension age, so I'll give him a pass for a bit of repetition for putting an extra quarter century of a shift in!

what youre saying is that he should have retired long ago
