Read an article on him last night. All about his music and TV work. Guy is a big success now. Just shows you how driven he must be as a person.

He also got a mention on the Radio 1 handover from Spoons to Vernon Kay at the weekend, including Vern quoting, Diamondback, Mongoose etc, but did take the piss about an old man riding a kids bike!!!

I had a look on his web site www.andyruffell.com and he is a fat boy now probably like most of us old school touching the old four O! Yes he's a cult hero in the dance world scene but im surprised I havent seen him on here from time to time, the ruffells probably did more for BMX than anyone else in the UK Neil was by far the best freestyler I think the UK hase ever produced and that includes Bestwick. And Andy speaks for himself very very talented man.... big up

Spooney deserves respect too. Not many people have made a career out of radio without being able to speak properly.  ;D

there's some good scans from his site. Especially of Neil.

Yeah thats been updated, its got some great scans, only trouble is the text is too small to read and it distorts when you zoom in, but his biography makes good reading  :daumenhoch:

At the 25th aniversary bash at Bournemouth last year, he mostly lives in the states now  :daumenhoch:

Nope, not unless we can persuade him to make a British `Joe kid` film  :daumenhoch:
