    Local radio presenter Roger Philips mentioned Jacko in the Liverpool Echo a few days ago.
    Here's a quote from Roger:

    'Talking about classic Liverpool characters, there's Jacko who you'd see around town 'playing' his cardboard guitar - I recently found out he's in a home now and not well.
    People loved him because he was so crazy - he couldn't sing, he didn't have a guitar but people put their money in anyway! '

    I remember a couple of years ago,by Stoniers,in Williamson square,Jacko was sitting on the floor with his guitar,being circled by a gang of young lad's,who to me,were weighing him up for something!? Me,and a couple of mates stood close by,shouting over to him,till the lad's got fed up,and moved on! I think they were surprised anyone would care,if they were going to roll him?

    Loads of people have never heard of him. To call him a legend is a joke.

    There's ppl who've not heard of Bob Paisley or Howard Kendall. Does that mean they aren't legends ?
