Fortunately, he kept his hand in doing weekend shows on Radio Kent for a while afterwards. He also did some work at Gillingham FC.
Think he lasted a while longer at Meridian - before the closure of the New Hythe studios forced his hand.
I suspect he was always intended to be Mike Debens' successor once he made his quiet exit - something fairly evident in that video of Ron Lobeck's retirement that Neil Miles uploaded a few weeks back.
