I knew Nobby first as a calm voice on the end of the phone - a source of wry good sense when I was FT correspondent in Brussels and Milan - but I got to know him better when I returned to London as a completely inexperienced foreign news editor, “running” a newsdesk full of seasoned veterans in the late 1990s. Nobby was a supportive, steady source of institutional knowledge and editorial skill. His presence was immensely reassuring and with his humour and tact, he managed to put me right on many occasions without putting me down. My condolences to his family.
