just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
RIP.
Loved his stage look too - I remember someone remarking that he looked like he'd learned to play in the hallway of his flat, the way he walked back and forth holding the guitar almost like a bayonet.
Always struck me as a decent sort as well, down to earth.
There have been many more technical guitar heroes - but very few as humble or self deprecating.

I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
(Off topic a little - if anybody wants, I'll gladly move it - but much and all as I tried, I could never quite get Wilko riffs to sound right. Thought the video might help - but even there, there's a point at the 1:36 mark in the demo he seems to be able to play the rhythm and little finger-picked riff with no visible picking with his right hand at all. Anybody shed some light on how he manages to do that ??)
RIP Wilko
RIP Wilko - you'll be missed, mate.
RIP Wilko.
