Mrs Gowerjack and I were down the Mumbles earlier and bumped into Red Heather the Micheal Foot lookalike who once accosted Geoff Capes in Swansea market because of his support for South African fruit..
Got us talking about other strange characters we used to see regularly....
Joe the Boxer from the Tenby
Stinky Pete the most honest man in town
The fella that used to hand out Biblical tracts outside the market
Hank !
That woman with the bow legs that used to love a fight when she'd had a drink
Anyone remember any more? |  |

Nev ended up in a council flat on Sketty Park Estate. Poor fücker was ga-ga and was always calling the police about various paranoid concerns.

Gendros boy Neville, proper old skool gent, good honest boxer who won more than he lost, suffered in later years and got sectioned for his own safety sadly... RIP Nev |  |

I also remember having a game cancelled when playing for West End as a wee boy. One of the lads bobby knocked the Chinese on the hill behind the Lady of Lourdes heading down to Swansea Bay - the owner came out with a knife the size of Kev Austin's tool. F*ck me I've never ran as fast in my life  | |
