Lived his life the way he wanted, nothing but admiration for the man, said a few controversial things, but didnt mean to offend anyone.

I miss those days! We had an awesome workmens club in our little area of south wales. It still going today but its lost all its charm. All the old characters have past on & nothing feels the same anymore. I would give anything to go back & do it all again! These videos make me so nostalgic 😭
