I remember him well from when I was growing up as a kid in the Bont.
Imagine an Albert Steptoe lookalike dressed in old colliers boots and a filthy, falling apart WW1 trenchcoat 3 sizes to big for him that was tied up with string.
Every other word muttered under his breath was either feck or cant. as he shambled up or down St Teilo Street.
According to my old Dad he used to scrounge sarnies off a signalman at Bont railway station.
Ended up in the Hollies old peoples home after somebody eventually took pity on him. |
He was indeed at the Hollies and was there the same time as my mother's aunt! In fact he tried (not an urban myth!) tried to do a runner from there once by hitching a ride on the back of a milk float. |  |

Anyone remember Ginger Albert used to go around travelling on the buses carrying a big radio and dressing like a bus driver, always standing by the bus driver in the 1980's-1990's a Health & Safety nightmare in modern day
Late 1980's a fella used to walk around Sketty/Uplands always covering his face with a newspaper....
The fella out every weekend on the p1ss in town who looked like Bobby Charlton? 1980's-1990's |
I certainly remember the ginger guy with the radio & also the ‘smooth talking’ bald guy from town fair play he tried to chat up any bird who was ‘breathing’ in any of the Clubs game fukker 😂😂 |  |

anyone else seen the tiny little Irish bloke that is usually in The Cross Keys drinking Brains Black? calls himself 'Irish Mick' and some of the bar people call him 'Magic Mike', he stinks of urine but he's the closest thing to a character Swansea has at the moment that I can think of | |

Leonard from Pennard |
Despite the many made up names following your post Rayns. I certainly remember Leonard from Pennard, talk to anyone around the town centre around the 1970s if I remember correctly. Renowned for his whistling was Leonard. |  |
| We shouldn't all be tarred with the same brush you know! |

Leonard reminds me of that whistling character in the pub from "The Boys from the Blackstuff". The scene where Yosser meets "shake hands". |  |

Indeed, very sad news! John was very much part of the Uplands furniture, especially Mozarts, lovely guy.
Hopefully at peace now. |  | | |
