Noooo, Captain Birdseye Has Died!

I was very upset to read that  good old Captain Birdseye had passed away.

John Hewer played the role of the jolly old captain from 1967-1998 and had reached the age of 86 before he sadly died.

I remember the adverts from when i was younger with his famous wink and catchphrase “Only the best for the captains table”.

John went on to be one of the longest running brand personalities in the history of food advertising and also got named as the most recognisable captain on the planet after Captain Cook.

Lets all raise a fish finger in memory of John
