Unhappy Pat Roach - Bomber in Auf Wiedersehen Pet RIP :-(

Not sure if anyones bothered but I just found out he died on Saturday. Never saw anything in the news about it. As you can tell from my username I drive a scooby & love Auf Pet so it's a big downer
Rest In Peace Big Man.

Now that's sad news
Not just famous for Auf Widersehen Pet, but he started as a pretty good (British) wrestler back in the Big Daddy era, then went on to appear in loads of films. For example, he was in all three of the Indiana Jones films, the two Conan films, Willow, Clash of the Titans, Robin Hood prince of Thieves etc...

Will be sadly missed....

Hello

One of my favourite programs from when I was a child. I enjoyed the latest "revival" as well. In which Bomber did not look too healthy.

RIP

Steve.

My wife told me earlier tonight about this, she saw it on the news, he had cancer.

I remember watching him as a kid wrestling with Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks (think they're all dead now).
I enjoyed all the series of Auf Pet since the 80's, but that last one he didn't look well.

RIP Big Man

Class scene in Never Say Never Again when Sean Connery beats him by throwing his urine sample in Pat's eyes!
