The Merseyside Quiz Leagues would like to extend their condolences to the family and friends of Dave Rainford who sadly passed away last week. Although most well known as part of the 'Eggheads' team on BBC2, Dave was also very familiar to many players in the MQL for his warm and generous nature and his sense of humour. A supporter of quiz events all around the country, Dave was a regular setter for the Mersey Summer Quiz and his Rochdale team were Plate Finalists at last year's MQL Buzzer Tournament. His death is a real loss to the quizzing community.
His friend and colleague, Pat Gibson writes;
"Tremendous Knowledge" Dave was a marvellous work colleague and a dear, dear friend. A huge, warm, sociable personality, he simply loved meeting with and chatting to people even if "chatting with people" grossly understates his force of nature friendliness and geniality - his ability to make other people happy. He relished quizzing with particular expertise in areas like pop and sport. In recent times, his energy and enterprise in dealing with serious health issues was inspiring. Invariably considerate, funny and generous, he will be deeply missed. |
