Mr Harrison

Mr Harrison was a debt collector who called on Billy Walker in July 1984 in pursuit of the sum of £3,000 plus interest that Billy owed to Peter Lasalle and his associates who were involved in business dealings with Billy in St Helier, Jersey, principally a wine bar that he had run for the past five years. Mr Harrison gave Billy just seven days to find the money and left, refusing the negotiate the matter as he was not empowered to do so.

Billy had no option but to visit his mother Annie in Derby who lent him the sum on condition that he took over the licence of the Rovers, enabling her to retire.
