Autographs of Jimmy Nail

James Michael Aloysius Bradford (born 16 March 1954), known professionally Jimmy Nail, is an English singer-songwriter, actor, film producer, and television writer. He played the role of Leonard "Oz" Osborne in the television show Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (1983–1986), the title role in Spender (1991–1993) and Jed Shepperd in Crocodile Shoes (1994–1996). He also recorded a 1992 number one single, "Ain't No Doubt". His performance as Agustín Magaldi in the 1996 film Evita, gave him international recognition.
James Michael Aloysius Bradford was born in Newcastle upon Tyne to father Jimmy and mother Laura. His father was an Irish Catholic shipyard worker, amateur boxer, and professional footballer. Nail describes himself as an angry child who was expelled from secondary school for setting fire to curtains. When he was 13, his sister, Shelagh, died at a party from an overdose of alcohol and antidepressant drugs aged 20. He later spent time drinking, fighting, and generally rebelling against authority. He was involved in a fight after a Newcastle United F.C. match during the 1970s and served a short prison sentence for grievous bodily harm.
After being released, he worked in a glass factory. While opening a crate of glass he stood on a six-inch spike that went through his foot and thereafter was called "Nail", a name he later adopted professionally. Also at that time he sang in a rock band called the King Crabs. His sister Val McLane is an actress who co-founded the Live Theatre Company in Newcastle in 1973 and later became Head of Drama at Sunderland University.
