Wrong about that one mate, I knew the Ogdens, Alan Ogden in particular. He lived with a very good friend of mine about 20 years ago and was really good with his fists, as she found out to her cost on several occasions.

 

That particular scenario was brought to a close when he was given a good bashing one dark evening by an anonymous assailant who told him it had happened for the last time and that it was better to leave while he still had the ability to walk. He left a week later when he came out of the hospital.

 

Who was the mystery assailant?

 

Nobody was ever charged and I could not possibly comment or speculate on the matter. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

 

Really hard those Ogdens!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFPMSL

i knew the Ogdens. Friends of my family..... i was younger than Jimmy Ogden who was a mate of my brother Bob Barnes......always ok with me.
