[edit]

Clean up tags should really have some specific justification on here, although this article has obvious limitations and needs improving. I heard that Bob, when confronted by Jackson's entourage of high-powered American lawyers at the police station, panicked and ran away, leaving Jarvis on his own. Would be a cool R + M story to include.

I think that bit might have been press invention :) According to Bob, he confronted the bodyguards saying they were falsely imprisoning Jarvis and he was released, with a bit of fuss though... Jimshears 17:24, 2 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The story about Jarvis Cocker & M.Jackson, as it is written, would seem to be untrue. If Cocker was under arrest then Mortimer could have been his advocate, but Jackson's legal team would surely not have been allowed to be present during his interviews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.155.252 (talk) 12:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I do a podcast with Bob Mortimer

[edit]

I don't think this section is worthy of inclusion. I see it is sourced but I don't think it warrants mentioning on Bob Mortimer's page, especially not in such detail as to make cruel remarks towards Mr Dawson. It seems to me like it was written by a fan of Mr Jones's and comes across as maliciously motivated. I don't often see subsections devoted to famous people trending on Twitter if the event itself wasn't newsworthy so it also feels out of place.

Would love some opinions on this as I am not a regular Wikipedia editor and am not certain I'm in the right to be critical of this.

Thank you

Sometimes if you leave a comment unsigned the Wikiheroes swoop in So I'ma do that

 Done. I removed that section because it failed to cite even one WP:RS for its account of a purported event that "took Twitter by storm"—citing instead only a series of tweets, and thus violating WP:NOR. KalHolmann (talk) 20:01, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Early football career

[edit]

His early football career ended when he didn’t get selected due to his shyness and not mixing with others, as stated in his book ‘all away’, not related to arthritis. ~2025-35528-20 (talk) 10:07, 22 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
