Interesting article, particularly the earlier history. Strange though that there is no photo of Bobby at all in it. The photo of Romina is captioned with her' son' Namoki, who has recently had a baby in Belfast, but was thought a male until he/she was three years old.
For me, Bobby is best remembered as the smallest silverback I have ever seen. His growth was almost certainly stunted as a result of poor feeding/care in his earliest years in the circus resulting in a disproportionate appearance. His tale is rather a sad one and his last years in Bristol and London were no doubt the best for him.
