Saw them in Blackpool Opera House 1980s summer season. Sold the place out every night and it's a huge theatre.
They had the audience in the palm of their hands. Hilarious in their time.
Rock in Peace Bobby.

Big part of my childhood. RIP Bobby.

Talk about the Mandela affect though as i could have sworn he died fairly recently. In the last year or 2.

I think you are mixing him up with a chuckle brother?

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

RIP Blue. Used to see him outside Maine Road.

I remember when Sheree Murphy was on I'm a celebrity and we were playing at home to what would have been Leeds or Liverpool and the fans started singing to kewell, Cannon and Ball are shagging your wife

RIP Bobby
Remember when I was younger being woken up by my dad roaring with laughter at the TV. In the morning I asked him who it was and he said to blokes from around our way called Cannon and Ball. Next time they were on he let me watch as well and I roared with laughter as well. Anything that made my old man laugh must have done something right.

Bobby was really good in Not Going Out as well. RIP Bobby.
