My friend Sean O’Neill, who has died aged 67 of complications from a bowel blockage, was a master of the pub quiz who became a quizzing international for Wales and a contestant on various radio and television shows.
His most high-profile TV appearance came in 2006 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, in which he got to the £16,000 stage before failing to correctly answer a question about Joyce Grenfell – which meant that to his chagrin he came away with only £1,000.
