This photo is one of Gerard Fagan’s, from Inacityliving, showing Irlam Road.
Does anyone recognise the guy in the middle of the road?

Not 100% Joe, but he could be John Stenson. JJC.

Thanks for that John, it's a good guess if no one comes up with anything better, then John Stenson it is.

That brings back memories of when I was on the cabs in the 80's, Joe. The call was ' The Prinny bingo for Coyle". Mrs Coyle was the mother of the lead singer of the Lotus Eaters, who would take great pride in telling you that, every time you picked her up.
