I know Bobby was from wear side and I'm a Geordie. But I'm old enough to remember that he was loved all over the north east. Just wish I was old enough to have been able to see him live in the clubs where he was welcomed so much. Legend. Rest in peace.
Thanks for posting !
Bobby Thompson a real treasure of the Northeast and one of a very few who did not have to revert to swearing to make people laugh.........pure talent
