Bobby Ball ran over my colleague's neighbour's dog

Out of a trove of famous people that have, for some reason, all come from Oldham, you can pick out Bobby Ball, of Cannon and Ball fame.

My colleague tells me that, some decades ago, Mr Ball once ran over a dog in his car whilst driving through neighbouring town Rochdale. This happened on my colleague's street, the dog in question belonging to a neighbour. To his credit, Mr. Ball was courteous enough to stop and check on the dog, and the owner. Both were fine.
