He went to the same school as one of our illustrious mods, the school being Bishop Bilsborrow, Princess Rd. Alas now demolished.

I’d say ‘remembered’ is a key word for this thread. Why shouldn’t we also mention what they are and should be remembered for?

They can put that statue in Stretford, not Manchester.

Every time he came on the telly I just wanted to boot it in. Smarmy ****.
He thought he was David Watts I suppose we all knew one.
Not for me - agree to disagree - it speaks volumes though that the other opinion divider Steve Coogan played him in the film!
Mind you at the time he was on Granada Reports that other thundercunt Bob Greaves was too.

To be a Mancunian, you had to be born within earshot of Helen’s bell.
