    Joseph Williamson.

    Went in to a business (Tobacco) when it was in the height of its trade, made an utter fortune and then spent it all on excavating underneath Edge Hill.

    A true gent, someone who shared his fortune and someone who did something for a job what I do for a hobby!

    Lived till the ripe old age of 71, gave stone away to build a church and is now almost forgotten under a car park of what was once the graveyard of St Thomas'.

    Great voice, bad cloakroom girl, When she was on cloakroom at the Cavern she would be singing along and dancing to the music and we would be lining up with our coats We had to yell to snap her back to the real world

    I was trying to be a teeny little bit provocative. Tossed up between naming Ringo or Cilla, and Cilla won. Thought I'd get an avalanche of flak and surprised nobody rose to the bait!

    Lennon was asked was Ringo the best drummer in the world. John replied he's not even the best drummer in the Beatles
    Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
    Time held me green and dying
    Though I sang in my chains like the sea.
