Footballers who pretend to be more hurt than they are should be forced to visit an 8 year old child who's dressed up as a doctor on the side of the pitch, and only be allowed to come back on when said child is bored of using their toy stethoscope and bandages on them. #WorldCup – at Market Warsop, England

The loveliest, kindest man & the best to ever do it ❤️ Truly inimitable. I only wish I’d had the chance to work with him, rather than just chat Spurs! Really thought he would be back 😔 Hugs to my @talkSPORT colleagues who held it together somehow. RIP Danny Kelly ❤️ #COYS

For those who recall the old Baker & Kelly shows. There was a brief window after we heard that West Brom's Jeff Astle had asked at a WBA club buffet dinner whether there was "Any More Pie?"
This took on a life of it's own with callers suggesting...

If you want to pay tribute to Danny Kelly tonight you might want to listen to one of his favourite albums, King Crimson's 'Red'.
Although I wouldn't because its a fucking racket.
Try another of his faves instead, Culture's Two Sevens Clash.

Incredibly Danny Kelly & I washed up at Radio 1 in the 90s. Dan came up with this thing where instead of reviewing papers he would just tear out pics and write either TURMOIL or WE FEAR CHANGE on them then pass them to me.
It was breathlessly helplessly funny.
Nobody knew why.

Going through pics of my closest chum.
When Danny Kelly and I covered the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the BBC/Times laid on a courtesy car to get us to different stadiums.

Our last photo together. Round my house the morning after our sell-out inaugural live show in London last year.
A truly great night. A Baker & Kelly tour was planned.
It never happened.

Here's a TEN HOUR playlist of Baker & Kelly's peerless shows on Talk Radio from 1997-1999 for you...

RIP Danny Kelly
This from Baker & Kelly on their love of football and unusual way of broadcasting best explains why I loved listening and watching them
(I still adore their documentary on their trip following the 1998 World Cup)

So heartening to seen all the love for Danny K.
We were genuinely like brothers with a shorthand understanding and in-jokes that now is lost forever to me.
Music, Football, Life - we shared an absurd private universe of turmoil.
We feared change...and now here it is.

Danny Kelly and I tried to forge another path for football punditry. One based in hoopla, voodoo and toasters.
Sadly a more sober way won out. 10,000 gruff podcasts.
But at least we tried.

Just the saddest news 💔
The absolute best human being! Incredibly knowledgeable yet remained so humble preferring to compliment others. So much to say about him but I’m
still in shock at losing someone who became a friend .. always called me AJ & never forgot my birthday 🐐 🙏🏼

Danny Kelly. A titan of broadcasting. As two abysmal men get their commeuppance this week, it's good to champion a great man. Was a guest several times on his TalkSport shows and Danny was always everything you want him to be: whip-smart, avuncular and - crucially - brilliant. ❤️

Beautiful tribute from Winty.

I'm very sad to hear of the death of Danny Kelly. I had the pleasure of working with him many times. He was an eclectic and articulate broadcaster, with a fantastic sense of humour and an encyclopedic knowledge of music. On top that, he was a wonderfully kind man.
RIP

Danny Kelly was a legend; a true behemoth of our industry - perfect levels of geekyness and passion about football (and music) without the shoutiness of many of his peers.
He was incredibly kind with his time and expertise and we messaged a fair bit during Covid. Was v fond of him (and his cats!). There aren’t many people whose space will never be filled when they go. He is one such man. X

@dannykellywords was a genius, on radio, in print, in anything, just a genius. The best, funniest writer, the best most brilliant broadcaster, but the outpouring of completely unqualified love for the man says even greater. Sleep well chap ❤️💔
