Love Blossomed in A Club
Suzanne and Rod ran with the same crowds and connected in a nightclub when they were both just 16 years old. “He had a lot of charisma. The first thing I remember we did was go on an Aldermaston anti-nuclear march together,” said Suzanne.
She remembers him as working-class and working as a grave-digger at Highgate Cemetery – and very much one of the lads. However, when Rod found out Suzanne was pregnant, he was horrified and wanted to end the relationship almost immediately.
