Knew the one armed Geordie Elliot you're talking about, also knew his dad in the sixties.
Geordie did not lose his arm in a industrial accident, the reason he gives is that he was living with his mother when he fell asleep on it and stopped the circulation in it and it had to be amputated.
But a lot of people think it was down to the d*ugs which he had done for most of his life.
He was always in the gym working out and was a bit of a handful in his time, but now the d*ugs have seen him off and he's finished now.
Him and Keith Bell had a big falling out years ago and Geordie barricaded his house in Whitburn in case he came after him.

when i was up in shields i was introduced
to a Geordie Last name not sure could have
been Elliot ??. he also had one arm and i was
told by good authority that this person lost
his arm through d*ugs. but i must admit he
was one of the nicest Geordies you could
have wished to meet. Maybe its the same
person you mention. but my sources of
informatin will know whethere its him or not. :)

I've never seen him for about 3 years. If it's the same Geordie we are talking about, I have to say when you meet him he is a quiet almost shy person, but when he goes off on one he blows up quite quickly.
Someone was telling me he looks very haggard now.

''He could'nt fill his pants''

I did'nt get what you meant Mr. Angry.

Hiya cheers for that, i suspect its not the same person
he is not shy and not haggerd unless of course he
has done a turn around as i only met him about 18
months ago. Wish i could be more positive about it.
Maybe someone else could enlighten you. Hope its
not the same person because as i said the one i met
was a canny lad.
