jules_darby Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Aye, I've heard of him - legendary (for the wrong reasons) in both Liverpool and The Wirral. Got Scouse mates who swear they've been chased by him and saw him do it regularly in the early 90's when they were at School, apparently his favourite phrase was "pop or slash" - he was supposedly obsessed with young lads' muscles etc. Ask anyone under 35 from Merseyside and they'll've heard of him...

I've heard of him and seen him - he used to be out in Leigh quite a lot when I was about 18. Scary stuff!!
superbobby Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Purple Aki!! Now there's a name from the past - having gone to school in Birkenhead, though thankfully never having my muscles felt by him
athywhite1958 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I know him very well, a very bad man, I'll say no more.
Zico Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 why didn't he just join a gay gym? or generally hang around places like canal street near the well buffed boys? they wouldn't say no to a grope
bwfc_sue Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I was telling my son about this guy who likes to feel muscles...he said there used to be a chap played rugby for Leigh Miners who was like that, he then said his name which was Purple Aki. How bizzare!

How bizzare! i've heard of him,I work with a load of lads from Leigh and they used always tell me about this puple aki fella, suppose be a right headcase but they said he was from leigh too, not Liverpool, but maybe the leigh one named himself after the scouse one or vice versa
Alf Hartigan Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 i've heard of him,I work with a load of lads from Leigh and they used always tell me about this puple aki fella, suppose be a right headcase but they said he was from leigh too, not Liverpool, but maybe the leigh one named himself after the scouse one or vice versa its the same bloke.from liverpool but spent the late 80s early 90s around leigh and warrington
stoxy21 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 No way, i was discussing this bloke with a work colleague not so long ago! A few lads from wigan and leigh college mentioned his name during a lecture but i didnt really take much notice to be honest, all i heard was this big black bloke who used to go round asking young lads to tense their muscles, then he'd feel them and say stuff like 'do you go to the gym' and 'you should join my gym, would you like my number'....shit like that. I didnt really believe much of it but quite a few of them mentioned him so i thought he just operated around wigan, leigh and surrounding areas, that was in 2000...... Not very long after that i was walking across Morrisons car park in town towards the train station when this big black bloke come from nowhere and started asking me questions about the gym and stuff, i absolutely shat myself, he asked me if i wanted a free gym pass and if i did id have to come with him to his gym which was just down the road, i said no thanks and fooking ran as quick as i could! Ive never heard his name mentioned since then, reading this topic and the posts sent a shiver down my spine, he nearly made me piss my pants i was that scared at the time!!

Smiffs Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Does it make me queer admitting to being touched up by Purple Aki? For the avoidance of doubt, this is definatly the same Purple Aki. I'd recognise him anywhere. He was doing the rounds of Leigh in the late 80's and early 90's. I used to get the bus from wiggin when I was doing day release there and he'd often be hanging about. He'd also spend time around Tropics (pub & club in Leyth). All of our lot knew of him and we'd all been 'measured up'. TBH though, we didnt think there was much harm in him. Aye he was a bit odd, but he didnt really 'touch us up', so to speak. He never shoved his fist up may arse anyway. He'd prod your muskuls with a finger, not normal behavior but he'd spend more time chatting about rugby and training than touching you up. Bear in mind I was a tad fitter in those days. :::::: Our rugby coach at the time ran the door at Tropics so kept all things in order. Even when he collared me alone in wiggin bus station, he was OK, weird, but not threatening. This was over a period of maybe 3 or 4 years too. Not suprised really that he's been in mither, but then again I can see why folk would be scared of him.
Maggie Tate Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I knew of Purple Aki through a few lads in Liverpool I know/used to know, but never realised he was 'active' in Leigh at any stage. For mentally ill ethnic minority people nowadays in Leigh you have to look to a chap called Dave who wanders round all day in the pubs and bookmakers, drinking whisky straight and placing 2p accumulators, plus filling up the bandits for devious people to dive on the second he's finished. He's almost incapable of speech, but this doesn't really distinguish him from the locals. In his spare time he hangs out of his top flat window roaring at passers by. A most furtive existence, and one to which I aspire. Other than that, before my time but Smiffs will tell you about Bernard BarrowBollocks...
bwfc_sue Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 He'd also spend time around Tropics (pub & club in Leyth). Oooo! I think I once took him home to meet my parents!
Smiffs Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 No Sue, that was Dean Hacket you shagged at the back of Chaus you filthy slut. :::::: Bernard Barrowbollocks.........now thats a blast from the past. Bernard lived in the nuthouse at Atherleigh, was a world class gurner, but in fairness wasnt the fizziest can of pop in the fridge. The bloke must have been 25 stone and 5 foot 6. Think weebles. Now whether it was a nappy, his belly, or his plumbs. I doubt anyone other than the poor soul employed as 'Bernard Washer' would know what on earth the huge rotund lump was that hung from his waste to his knees. We're talking spacer hopper size. In jogging bottoms. He could, as the name suggests, carry it in a barrow. Hardly a welcomeing sight to folk visiting the town for the first time. He'd scare kids by gurning and growling, he was otherwise mute, and would wander aimlessly from bin to bin fishing out any old shite to shove in his gob. The nuthouse shut in the 90's and he was sent away somewhere else I imagine.
frank_spencer Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 you can't beat local nutjobs there's a chap who bumbles about Bury chearing along to random football comentary in his head. most surreal.
Zico Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I was thinking of being a funny bastud and setting up a facebook profile under his name seems 10 people already thought of it
bwfc_sue Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Bernard Barrowbollocks.........now thats a blast from the past. Oi b?llockchops! That's my uncle!
Churchill Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 Last sighting of the Purps was in Gunchester on May 28th at 15:28 outside the Primark,photo evidence is on Faceache however with my limited ability on a computer i cannie upload the pic,the lad who took the pic said he knew it was him so hung back for a while so he could get a pic!
Zico Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 bloody ell just walked past him on deansgate unmistakeable big f?cker and very oddly there is a sort of purpley tinge to his skin walking with some little scrawny lad, probably a mate, didn't look like there was much for him to feel
