A belting old, cantankerous, tactless giant of a man. Proper Salford rum'n.
Took poorly just a week or two ago and was found to have passed away at home today.
He was telling me a while back about the weight he'd pack on every week when he worked at the docks, I asked was it the lunchtime alehouse sessions 'No you daft bastard' He chuckled and did some sort of pirouette "I'd wrap the copper cable around me under me shirt!" Explaining about the huge copper wire bales he'd skim from.
Big blue and knowledgable on all aspects. 1st team right through to the youths set up. Never ever got Stefan Jovetic's name right though ... always Stefan Djokovic like the tennis player lol
I know our kid's a fan of his 'cult' dramas, the bridge is one of his favourites. Bernard knows this too and would bell him around 5 minutes into it "WHAT YOU WATCHING THAT SHIT FOR? IT'S F**KING IN SWEDISH!"
Just his style of banter. Going to be unusual not seeing him about.
Ta-ra Geoff!
