We’ve got a few of his books at home here. Never realised he was a Baggie.

Peepo was my son’s favourite. Lots of happy memories of that book. No idea he was Albion. Legend.

He was adopted as a small child and was a grave digger before he was advised he should get himself to college. Went to Rood End Primary school and then Oldbury Grammar school.
