Simon 'Blue' Robinson

And we arrived there, the car dropped us off, and there was this almost spiral staircase leading up to the heavens on the fourth floor.

He couldn't walk up two steps, let alone there.

So we managed by corralling my resources.

He was smaller than me, so I turned to him, offered my left hand.

He grasped my wrist like a Roman handshake.

And I reached behind him and grabbed a big chunk of his trousers and his waistband and said, are you ready?

And he nodded.

And I ran up those four flights of stairs round and round, carrying him.

His feet sort of touched the ground, sort of dancing on the way up.

But he used my strength to carry him up those stairs quickly.

We got to the top.

I had spots dancing in front of my eyes.

I straightened his...

outfit, straightened his beret, he knocked on the door, and then he went.

Yeah.

There was always the hope that I'd come back and work for him, but I wanted to study in London.

And

I said, he was in Vienna, and at that stage, lawyers were turning up with writs and things from ex-lovers who were now very unwell.

And so Rudolph was being sued for that side of things.

So I knew I was a small player, like a really tiny cog in that career.
