Tesco Pitsea roller skate man

[Mad Cyril]

Anyone know what happened to the Tesco Pitsea roller skate man?

He seems to have disappeared along with The Owl Man.

His name I believe was Tommy Opperton, and he was a colleague of a couple of guy's I work with now, although he was before my time.

He unfortunately passed away around four years ago, but I believe he was well into his eighties when he was skating around Tesco's.

As I said he was before my time, but by all accounts a really nice guy.

Ahhh, sad news, he always brightened up a miserable Saturday morning whizzing about in there showing the youngsters how to "wheel" with style.
