Almost creepy.

Here he is in 1983 having an argument with Gary Newbon due to some incident in a football game that the ref didn't see and the cameras did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqe6tA2r9ow Other examples of him going off on one for whatever reason are on YouTube but of course he was on TV-am right up until the end of 1992 so presumably he didn't cause too much trouble for them over the time he was there so....
