    Craig Charles (Red Dwarf, Corry) was born and bred in Childwall, about 2 mins walk from the church. Loads of us used to knock about with him and his brother. His dad still lives in the same house.

    Default Simon O'Brien.

    For what it's worth, I don't think Simon's from Toxteth.
    His family home was Howard Drive in Grassendale when he was in Brookside.
    I don't know whether he was born and bred there, though.

    Wasn't he born underneath the Pool table in the Aigburth Arms?
