He used to hang around with Mick Crich and were both very handy on the cobbles. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=26453

it might have actually been on some steps. so when he slid over, it will have looked pretty dramatic - even though it was a total accident.

then again, the person who told me this, could well have been under the influence or just talking deranged nonsense.
