Tom O’Connor, comedian and TV presenter. Born: 31 October, 1939 in Bootle, Lancashire. Died: 18 July 2021 in Slough, Berkshire, aged 81. Tom O’Connor’s career as a comic began in the maths and music classes he taught at a working-class school in Merseyside in the 1960s.

His professional showbiz career began with a second, part-time job as a country and western singer in working men’s clubs, but again he found that his jokes got the most positive response.
