I'm shocked to see this. Apparently he picked up covid-19 shortly before his death.
Very sad news. Bobby was born and grew up in my home town. My mum used to know him. There is even a place named after him called Harper Square.
I remember growing up watching the Cannon and Ball show. My favourite film as a kid was called The Boys in Blue - which featured Cannon and Ball in the lead roles.
I saw them in panto many times.
Bobby was the typical funny short man. Always quick with the jokes and always wanting to break the ice and make people laugh.
RIP.
