Sean is known as a ‘bit of rough.’ A Yorshire Lad – ‘one of Yor.’ It’s this reputation along with his ability to appear suave and sleek as well as sexy/scruff that appeals to so many women and makes him irressistable. His ethnic make-up gives him that tangible yet elusive manner.
He scores high on my list of ‘real’ men, and I’d willingly tag along with him to a footie game or a movie premiere!
