Ditto. I lived in Liverpool for all my formative years (before I went to uni.) and it’s still my home-town, wherever I happen to be living in the meantime at any one time, obviously. So yeah. I’ve heard all-about him. A strange mix of notoriety, fascination and fear, if you like, either way

To people who don’t already know him, he might-as-well not exist, but those familiar with North-West urban legends know he’s a hot one, for better or worse, good or bad. Some people liked him, some people didn’t.
