Sky Sports News presenter Fraser Robertson has died at the age of 47.
Former Sky Sports presenter David Tanner and friend of Robertson said on Twitter: 'I’m heartbroken that Fraser Robertson, my oldest pal in journalism, has died.
'We met at Napier Uni as kids and grew up together at STV & Sky. He’s always been there, always wearing that big grin.
'A fine journalist with an eye for a story, never happier than when offering help to teammates: generously sharing his time, vast knowledge and ideas.
'Fraz loved sport & TV, working in both gave him structure in life, especially after his comeback from major illness. We’ve lost a lovely man. I can’t believe he’s gone and I’m so terribly sad for his family.'
Current Sky Sports Prmier League presenter David Jones said: 'Desperately sad, and he was a bloody good journalist David.'
Jones' colleague, Kelly Cates, who is also a Premier League presenter said: 'I’m so sorry to hear this David. He was a lovely man and a big part of those early Sky Sports News days. Thinking of you.'
Robertson, who mainly covered the Republic of Ireland’s international matches, has previously suffered from a virus effecting his brain.
