He said: “I’ve been speaking to his son and Janet his wife and I’ve been phoning his phone, his phone number.

“I got on the train on Sunday and I was looking for my seat and my phone rang and I could see it was Big Al.

“I was thinking ‘Oh no, don’t answer that’. So I sat down and got the courage to phone back and HE answered the phone.

“He’s been in a difficult place but the way he sounded yesterday, he’s back, and I hope I’m right.”
