Notes
1. Sheepshagger" is a term of abuse aimed at football fans of Derby FC, and people from rural areas in general. Using Mc suggests that Hugh may be Scottish, as 'Mc' is part of many celtic surnames. (thanks MuMushoes)
Dan: In the Mojo magazine interview at the Green Man festival in 2015, MES refers to English actor Johnny Vegas as a "sheepshagger."He's "from Oldham," he explains.
Our best information suggests that Vegas is not in fact from Oldham...we're not sure about the sheep.
2. Have a guess (bleedin' or otherwise).
3. Richard (Madeley) and Judy (Finnegan) are British television personalities; MuMuShoes has discovered that Richard and Judy have a daughter named Chloe, who is a model. Wikipedia says that Richard and Judy are married, but they do have different surnames, so maybe that's why their offspring is said to be a bastard...
4. Stephen Hanley, of course, is the Fall's longtime bass player, and a charter member of the League of Bald-Headed Men; Whitefield is in Greater Manchester.

Richard and Judy's Daughter is a Model
Can't find any info, but she would have been 9 at the time.
Potentially she modelled Childrens Fashion on their Morning teevee show, but only guessing

(But I was wrongly influenced by hearing Bolton and Whitefield.)
There are no sheep anywhere near Hulme and few sheep shaggers as in Bolton/ Oldham/ Rochdale etc.
