I remember him playing Alec Gilroy's best man at his 1987 wedding to Bet Lynch in Coronation Street

He was in some of the first episodes too as a different character. Curiously, I remember him best for his on-off relationship with Pat Phoenix. If I remember correctly they finally married very soon before she died.
