Is the Denis and Andrew Hobson mentioned in tonights Star any relation to the Denis Hobson that the Star called "the so called Sheffiel hard man" relating to a court case a few years ago.

If so he must be at least 75 years old by now.

Yes it's Denis Hobson the hard man. My parents knew him years ago and commented on the article tonight. Aside of his reputation, they say he was always charming and friendly towards them.

Is that the same court case where he was in court with David Perkins?

I have seen the older Hobson hit a few people for no reason he was quite a bully in his younger days/hope old age has mellowed him
