His wife and kids admit he regularly used to beat her and he even decked one of his kids once,TBF it was different times back then and i think most people took a beating from their parents in they days,he was never really there for his kids during their childhood and when he was he'd fob them off on someone else

But more or less everyone says he was a prick and a "complex kinda guy" In other words a dick

There's a good one called American Pimp that can be downloaded, it is a real eye opener.

I can vaguely remember it.
About Paul Wesley and Nobby Nobbs in Birmingham.
I wish someone had it and could show it, been years since i first saw it.
Same here. I uploaded a video on YouTube titled norman nobby nobbs. An interesting club that was featured on Ringside.
