forest of dean redneck 11,609 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 The man was a legend, if you get chance read his autobiography. had a book of his signed for me dad at stourpaine steam fair. very modest man. remember going back after his death an thought his widow was cashing in on his name a bit too much,the way she was selling books an videos etc, very over eager.
