Just looking back on some earlier threads, ledgends.
I knew and worked for most of the guys and companies mentioned, but that would have been back in the mid seventies.
L&B kenny L great guy, a freind, Johny Hurley, died on ops table age 54 not one of my fav people.
Bill Leane crazy paddy, Phil Moore, Ken Davey, what a man started so many companies, D&R, Trad, and many more, anyone remember speedy Dave Bowen? think he passed away, great friend, Kevin Clifford great guy, anyone remember M&R J, Tryfoot carefull now one of my best mates, sort of the earth tought me the game, anyone remember these London scaffs, Micky Collins, Freddy Reynolds, real charactors, funny guys, never a dull moment with these 2, and probably the most fanous of all Tessy Baker the greatest and most loved scaff out of south london, comedian famous for his scaffolding, huge man with huge disability, had one leg shorter than the other, giant of a man when standing on his good leg, passed away aged 54 RIP mate.
