School Days: 1986-1989
Ziggy was the happy-go-lucky chancer in E2. With a nickname
inspired by David Bowie's repertoire (and a fondness for
spiders), he came to Grange Hill from Liverpool when his
family moved to take up work in the area. Soon he became
a popular member of the class. Ziggy had a laid-back attitude
to school; along with sidekick Robbie he'd be involved
in all sorts of scrapes from donkey-smuggling to keeping
Imelda Davis at bay. His heart was always in the right
place; he'd stick up for his mates and was game for anything.
Unfortunately this would often mean getting roped in to
whatever moneymaking scheme Gonch had going. A passionate
Liverpool supporter, Ziggy was a regular on Grange Hill's
soccer teams and got involved with Radio Grange Hill.
Romance was not Ziggy's strong point; he almost missed
his chance with his dream girl, Georgina Hayes. Ziggy
left Grange Hill after completing his GCSEs and would
be missed by classmates and teachers.
