Nobby was the heart and soul of a truly great night foreign desk when I was foreign editor 1986-92. It was a team expert at picking up mistakes, correcting grammar and, generally, at turning story dross into spun gold. Nobby not only knew all the tricks of the sub editor’s trade but he also possessed a great sum of accumulated knowledge of the world. above all, he was a great colleague and a genuinely nice man.
