Yeah, and appeared on it as a performer once Whispering Bob had made the hot-seat his own. List of the Lost 2020 will salute him with one of his early recordings - because it all got a bit music hall later on in his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hiannick Kamba, former Schalke footballer, who died in a car crash in Congo 4 years ago found alive and well in Germany. Fantastic story this. The fact he was working as a chemical technician makes it even better, as well as him claiming he had no idea he'd been reported dead and his wife was behind the whole scheme.
