TalkSport correction: Jason Cundy is not dead

The history of radio is littered with presenters announcing that people had died, when they hadn't. Sometimes it's accidental - Bob Geldof on a former incarnation of London's Xfm sombrely intoned that Ian Dury had died, years before the veteran rocker actually passed away. Sometimes it's for a joke - Chris Morris, on his BBC Radio 1 show, famously told listeners that Jimmy Savile and Michael Heseltine had died. And to this unlikely pantheon we can add TalkSport presenter Andy Goldstein, who said his colleague and former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy had "passed away" after he was unable to make the station's Sports Bar show. But the joke, such as it was, rather backfired when listeners took him seriously and started laying flowers at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground. Cundy – who survived cancer in 1997 – is alive and well. Still, the flowers will look lovely in the team dressing room.
