In January 1976, Rodney Marsh stepped off a private jet here in Tampa and thought to himself: ‘This is the life for me.’
Today, at 75, his perspective is untouched. The sun is shining, bouncing off the bay’s crystal waters, the city is alive and, as for the cocktails, well they are ‘out of this world’. To twist the final word of a famous anecdote involving his great friend George Best, ‘Where did it all go right?’.
There is, then, something of an irony in Marsh’s day job — as co-host of a radio show called The Grumpy Pundits.
