Met him many times through a mutual friend. A very shy and sensitive man , not particularly what you would expect. He had a traumatic life , you need to research the fact that he was involved in a crash that killed his then girlfriend when he was young ( not excusing him) this had a major impact on him. Later in life he was beaten up during an armed robbery at his Formby/ Southport home. I met him again about 1 year after that incident, he had taken it very badly. He really wanted anonymity and never sought the limelight .
RIP chairman, a true red.
