How the fuck do you pull something like that off at the age of 30? If you don't know who he is (I didn't), then read the article. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31195 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'd heard about him previously but I had no idea of the scale of people he saved. It takes incredible bravery and generosity to do that. A truly great man. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43061 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Aye, there's a video of him meeting some of those he saved on That's Life in 1988. Here it is. I love the little nod he does.(1:05) Proper stiff upper lip. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17643 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I remember seeing the old boy on that's life at the time.... all these extraordinary people seem very unassuming characters, we could do with a few more like him at the top nowadays.
