Couldnt find a post on Mike. A big part of Aussie Sport.

RIP Gibbo thanks for the memories





Tributes are flowing following the death of award-winning sports journalist and broadcaster Mike Gibson at the age of 75.

Gibson, who started in print journalism as a newspaper and magazine writer, and also worked in radio, became known nationally when he was chosen to co-anchor Channel Nine's new Wide World of Sports program with Ian Chappell in 1981.

He was a presenter on the show - as well as Sports Sunday - and read the news for Nine until 1988, before leaving for Channel 10, where he presented Olympics coverage in Seoul.

He later moved to Fox Sports, where he presented 720 episodes of the sports show the Back Page from 1997 to 2012.
