Hi Cashy, Yes i remember him but not in the cinema. He used to come into the snooker hall underneath the cinema - trying to scrounge a tanner and cigs off the young teenagers in there - we were lucky to have enough to pay for the table and 5 Woodbines or Park Drive - and sixpence a corner at snooker:-)))

Johnny Go-Go, kids used to call him. Rumour has it he fell in front of a double decker. Although i doubt it.
