Bob Rogers, who was affectionately known as âBob Doomâ
HE was a man seen by millions, but known by very few.
Bob Rogers, who has died aged 73, carried the placard âItâs Going to Get Worseâ.
He had been a fixture at Speakersâ Corner, Hyde Park, where he affectionately became known as âBob Doomâ after he took out his sign there for the first time almost 30 years ago.
In an earlier interview, he explained: âIt was the winter when British Rail reported âthe wrong kind of snowâ on the line and that became an Evening Standard headline.
