Right well I was born on the banks of the River Irwell in 1959. Quite literally I mean I was born on the bank of the River Irwell, I was a water baby. I wasn't meant to be a water baby but my mother went into labour while she was out collecting bricks from the Irwell and in the midst of all the labour pains, she tumbled into the river itself and that's when and how I was born.

You could say I came from a mixed up family - in many ways. My mothers name was David and she was from Egypyt and my father's name was Hilary and he was from Salford, Manchester. I guess out of spite they decided to name their children in a silmilar fashion, that's how I came to be the first male in the history of Salford to be called Louise and why my 3 sisters were named Albert, Keith and Roger.

For your information I have dropped the E now (oh gosh, not in the druggie sense of the word!!!), no what  mean is that I dropped the E in my name and am now known as Louis.
