If you grew up in Leeds in the 1960s you may remember John Calvert – not by his name but simply as the 'Headingley Cowboy'.
John would ride a horse on the streets of Leeds in full cowboy gear, including a 10-gallon hat, bandana, boots and a bullwhip. Sometimes he would wear the headdress of a Native American chief.
The site of a man on horseback, dressed in cowboy gear, provided a welcome break from the drudgery of everyday life.
