Totally looking forward to this. He laboured all his professional life in the shadow of his famous brother, but he seems to be getting the better of the story in the end.Quote:

Cold. What was wrong with Bobby?
Jack wouldn't let him hold his fishing rod when they were kids. Check out their mum, cissie i think her name was. She's an absolute Diamond.Quote:

It's been decades since I was willing to take anything at face value that I read in the press, but if it is true that Bobby was faced with a choice between his wife (and therefore his family) and his birth family, then he did the only possible thing. Crazy to be put in that position.
