Sara Baghai: “What a tragedy and loss to us all. Just imagine what else he would have gone on to achieve if he hadn't died so young.”

Simon Crees - Berners 68-75: “I was in the same year and same house. I grew up with Malcolm, the first time I really knew anything about cancer. He was one of - if not the - bravest person I have ever known.”

Chris Snuggs - Berners/Halls 58-65: “Fate is often just horrible, and justice in short supply.”

Philip Flannery: “I remember Malcolm in Berners, he was a few years above me. A good guy from my memories.”

Peter Warne - Corners 68-73: “Not many of us would have had the strength and determination to carry on like he did. Extremely sad.”

Glynne Thomas - Halls 57-62: “Very tragic story.”

Chris Hopkirk - Halls 72-79: “What a reminder that we are the lucky ones and need to live each day to the utmost. What bravery!”

Andrew Campbell - Corners 68-75: “Malcom was one of my best friends. He had a great sense of humour and enjoyed a few pints or a loud band (no doubt against doctor’s orders!). Despite the fact that he’d lost most of his hair through chemotherapy, he had more success with the ladies than I did. He was always fun to be around and I miss him to this day.”

Roger Evans - Corners 68-75: “Goodness yes, knew Malcolm too - not as close friends as others, but during those same seven years. I never knew he had cancer.”

Andrew Campbell: “Not surprising really, as he never let it define him.”

Simon Crees: “The wig he had was dreadful. He didn’t care.”

Andrew Campbell: “True. It was before shaved heads became hip!”

Simon Crees: “I have a great photo of him wearing his wig. Remember going to his halls of residence in Euston . … Disco at the Royal Free Medical school. I have friends now who believe they knew him, all doctors trained at the Royal Free.”

Andrew Campbell: “Yes, we had lots of sessions in the student bar - saw the Stranglers there!”

Simon Crees: “Went to see Elton John, Roxy Music, The Faces , Osibisa with him and others who are in this group.”

Siggi Halling - Johnstons 71-75: “I always regarded Malcolm as a good friend, although never got to know him as well as I wish I had. He was the sort of boy that everyone liked. It was truly devastating to hear that he had cancer at school but he showed so much courage and I would often think of what he might have gone on to achieve in his chosen field of medicine. He was one of life's beautiful and gifted souls and the world is so much poorer without him.”
