He was a top man, a real gentleman. I met him in 1990ish at the schools proms at the Albert Hall, he had loads of time for the kids, and he actually seemed to enjoy it when 5000 people all shouted "Can I have a P please Bob" at him.
Little known fact - Bob was the first actor ever to play James Bond, in a radio play.

Well known but made up FACT! about Bob Holness....he played saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street....no he didn't. It was made up by Stuart Maconie (coincidentally a Wigan fan) for a column in the NME. |

Not exactly true either! Barry Nelson was the very first Bond, Bob Holness was the first ENGLISHMAN to portray Bond. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.
