I can't say I'd heard of him but given the tribute from the Equals, he may well have played on this, a song later covered by the Clash.

Hadn't heard of him, Wiki tells me he drummed on 42 UK number 1s. That is pretty epic. Though a lot of the songs he worked on certainly weren't. Grandad and Two Little Boys for a starter. Pre-session drummer he was a fully paid up member of the Tornados, famous for Telstar.
