A guy I used to work with in a then completely unrelated field, had previously been employed as the manager of a large well known Leeds nightclub. The resident DJ had been Saville. When we discovered that our colleague knew 'someone famous' he was of course asked what he was like in 'real life'. Now bearing in mind that this conversation was taking place back in 1979/80 or so and Saville was to continue to thrive in the BBC for some considerable time to come, it may be unsurprising now to know that our erstwhile colleague would describe him only as 'a very unpleasant man' and refused to be further drawn on the matter.
