Dickie Davies host of ITVs World of Sport for nearly two decades dies
The presenter anchored the five-hour live TV marathon every Saturday between 1968 and 1985.

He also had an unlikely sideline during his early years on World of Sport, as he had invested some of his his TV earnings in a pub called the Globe in Andover, Hampshire - and was occasionally pictured working behind the bar on a Saturday evening, just hours after broadcasting to millions of people.
