I used to listen to John Peel's BBC music show all the time-he was legendary for playing totally obscure stuff. We lost him a couple of years ago..."Music industry legends paid tribute to the late John Peel, at the John Peel World Cup Football Competition in Liverpool.
Peter Hooton of The Farm said he thought the late Radio 1 DJ would've been "embarrassed" by all the fuss.
He said: "He'd probably be a bit embarrassed by all this because he didn't like this type of fuss made of things. He always used to criticise people when he said 'oh they're friends of the famous dead', which is a great title for a group - but we're doing it because we just wanna remember him."
