Willy Murtough was a friend of Don Brennan's from Weatherfield Cabs. In June 1988, Willy had the thankless job of driving home an inebriated Jack Duckworth from Don's Stag night. Jack was so drunk that he couldn't remember where he lived - Willy remarked that Jack had him half-way to Bury at one point - and when he finally did get home, he left a carrier bag containing his wedding suit in the taxi.
