Jabberwocky Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 He also used to live next door to one of my mates, one of the small side roads off Holme Lane (across from cash convertors place) So he lived in Sheffield for a while? Interesting... From what Im told here he never went close to sheffield unless he was performing there. However its been years since my other halfs dad played darts with him so...

Tradescanthia Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I remember Joe Scarborough living in north Sheffield 'when I were a lad'. He went on to be the fine artist he is today. Lovely man, a privilege to have known him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
