Bobby Ball

[Professor]

Has sadly died as a consequence of COVID. Never a fan but very much part of growing up on the 70s and 80s. Apparently was a lovely guy.

Rock on Tommy. RIP

RIP, was a regular part of television as I grew up

Wouldnt say I was a fan but its still sad to see another familiar face leave

Sad indeed, in fact he passed away about 100 yrds from where im now sat. He once contacted my nephew and asked if he would go and work with him on a project i'm sure my nephew regreted having to say no due to other commitments

Same here Phi, cannon and ball were absolutely massive in the 80s, really funny, even the wife liked them.

RIP Bobby.

Big shame. Enjoyed watching them back in the 80s. Bobby just had a really infectious cheeky smile. Cannon and him just worked very well as a double act honed over many years in the Workies clubs. Sad day and of course a massive Swans fan.RIP

Met him once in Brixham of all places, we had a chat for a few minutes, came across as a really nice fella..
RIP Mr Ball.
