zepstox Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I was in Ireland once with Glyn Buxton Rockley and in a bar called The Cosy Bar in Belturbet, we overheard a voice he knew from the pit. It was a kid who had only one arm, apparently he'd taken a short cut down the drift or something and had an accident, anyway from what I heard, he'd travelled to Ireland on a motorbike! He was as mad as hatter but I found it, and still do find it hard to believe he drove a motorbike with one arm missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your talking about Sid Kidd I can assure you he would/could have been on a bike as he's got a Prosthetic Arm and he loved nothing better than to get in a fight so he could smack someone in the face with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
