Peel seemed to lose spirit after Kid left. I don't think he had much rapport with Janice Long, either on Radio 1 or TOTP. But then Andy Kershaw came on board around 1985 and cheered him up radio-wise. However, that was also the year of Heysel, which hit him hard.
Peel's last big moment with Kid on the radio IIRC was Liverpool beating Roma in the 1984 final. Kid was gone by the time The Smiths did the Peel session that unveiled How Soon Is Now. I think Richard Skinner did the Kid slot until Janice took over.
