Unpleasant man that Blofeld...

"A third broadcaster to attract the wrath of Fletcher in the extracts serialised in a newspaper is Henry Blofeld, the veteran commentator on Test Match Special, with whom Fletcher had a public argument in a Leeds restaurant.

Again outraged by critical comments about his coaching, Fletcher said that on seeing Blofeld in the restaurant he went to remonstrate with him and received a volley of abuse. ?He did not even greet me but instead just bellowed ?F*** off,? ? Fletcher said.

Blofeld said last night that ?the spat was a great laugh? and that he wished Fletcher had ?had a go back at me and then we could have had a good laugh and, who knows, become friends?. Blofeld said that he had been annoyed because Fletcher had ignored him when he visited the commentary box."
