Indeed.
This i a personal tribute .
When a young in service Plod I was called to a "very loud party getting out of hand" job at a big house in Birkenhead's prestige area. Those jobs were always the ones where you d get the "I pay your wages" ,"Do you know who I am," I 'll have a word with your Chief Supt at the golf club".Being a maverick,I loved those jobs whereas many colleagues dreaded them.
I got there at 1am and its going big style in a marquee;a 21st birthday pressie for Pippa one.
I get t the front door and basically ask to turn it down or shut it off.
Im told it's Gerry Marsden. I say,"isnt he dead" .
Anyway,no joy so I hang around and walk into the rear garden which is like a smaller Brynmill Park.It is indeed Gerry doing a solo acoustic spot of his standards .
He finishes a song and seeing me ,nods and smiles.I nod back and beckon him to the side.
I say I dont want to be here but the neighbours are whinging and Im about to go off duty.
He tells me if he can do 3 more songs. I say ,youll have to turn it down though then I'll walk away but no doubt you'll turn it back up after I head off .He says yeah I will.
The music is turned down and I knob off .
Another complaint comes in 1 hour later.
The absolute bugger.
A great lad who gave 35m to various charities and never moved away from the land he loved.
Thanks Gerry ,La |  |

Reading through the tributes to Gerry this morning,it' apparent this fella was genuinely loved to death.
He was a Liverpool fan .So what!.
Will be sadly missed by many well away from Liverpool area and the memories of their 3 number hits from 55 years ago will remain with millions world wide Fact. | |
