His grandson has asked me can I find any info out, he lived (heywood) and he thought trained out of Manchester does anyone have any info or can send him in the right direction?

Same here, can't help but judging by the date of birth, being listed as Ghanaian and the date he turned pro, it's likely he moved here just after the Second World War, before the Gold Coast/Ghana gained independence in 1957, possibly around the time the independence movement started there in 1947.
