BBC SPREADS THE
‘NEIL EFFECT’
NATIONWIDE
The familiar face of Neil Baldwin has been recognised
by much of Keele University’s population since 1960.
Following the BBC’s production of “Marvellous”
Neil’s fame has now spread across the rest of the
country; we at Keele have a celebrity in our midst.
“Marvellous” tells Neil’s story from his time performing in a travelling
circus, as Nello the Clown, to his arrival at Keele University and also his
occupation as Stoke City FC’s kit man and mascot… and a wealth
of adventures and acquaintances along the way.
Baldwin described his first impressions of Keele: “It was great because it
was covered in snow,” he began, “I couldn’t get home that night and I had
to stay at Keele. Some students put me up. It was great, and the community
hasn’t changed since.”
