cgksheff   44 #1 Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Jimmy Carol, ex BBC Sheffield broadcaster is seriously ill in hospital in Benidorm. It appears that while doing a show, he went to the aid of a lady being threatened in the audience. Some idiot (seemingly a Brit) whalloped him and ran away.  https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/former-radio-sheffield-presenter-still-in-coma-after-attack-in-benidorm-1-9235694 Edited October 6, 2020 by nikki-red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Geo-atkinson   10 #2 Posted July 5, 2018 Blimey! Saw Jimmy Carol in Talk of the Town the other week. Hope he recovers and the low life that did this gets caught. Presumably the woman involved knows him. I am pretty sure Jimmy will press charges and there will be plenty of witness's.  ---------- Post added 05-07-2018 at 07:30 ----------  Meantime all the best Jimmy hope you pull through okay.

Calahonda   11 #4 Posted July 5, 2018 Surely someone in the audience had a phone/camera on them, but don’t expect the Spanish police to break into a sweat over it, hopefully he recovers and his attacker is identified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dutch   68 #6 Posted July 5, 2018 I really hope he will recover, most of my friends know him personally.  I have never liked the hardcore football crowd and its sidehangs due to how some of them rather too often display undeveloped childlike social skills in a strong grown body.

ANGELFIRE1 Â Â 10 #9 Posted July 5, 2018 Never heard of the man, but reading the story it would seem he is a decent bloke, trying to stop some louts from pestering a group of Ladies. Â Hope he makes a swift and full recovery. Â Angel1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
