Awful news.
One of the biggest characters in the area.
You couldn’t ignore Nobby. If you were in a boozer and he was nearby, chances are you’d end up chatting, with a high likelihood of spending the evening on the lash, and a realistic possibility of waking up on the same sofa as him and a bunch of randoms.
When his electric bike got stolen a few years back, the community rallied round and raised 3 grand to replace it in a matter of days. I think that’s a good indication of what he meant to people.
Last time i saw him a year or two ago he was living on Tulse Hill high street and he was pretty frail and walking with a stick. I carried his shopping up the stairs for him and helped him into his flat. He was in good spirits.
That was the last time I saw him.
Rest in peace fella. Love to all family and friends. X

It might have been us! We were all in the first class bit!
The Railway was packed for the wake.
