According to my not very well conducted research, he was a friend of the original teddy boy group, but he does not have much information because he died. Quite the Stu scenario, but forgotten. Sadly, due to his passing he is hardly ever noted and there aren't any pics I can find of him.
“I met Cynthia at art school. She was a right Hoylake runt. Dead snobby. We used to poke fun at her and mock her, me and Geoff Mohammed. ‘Quiet Please,’ we’d shout, 'No dirty jokes, It’s Cynthia.’ We had a class dance and I asked her to dance. Geoff had been having me on, saying, 'Cynthia likes you, you know.’ As we danced I asked her to come to a party the next day. She said she couldn’t. She was engaged.” - John Lennon
“It was mainly one long drinking session, but when you're eighteen or nineteen you can put away a lot of drink and not hurt your body so much. At college I always got a little violent on drink, but I used to have a friend called Geoff Mohammed, God rest his soul, who died. He was a half-Indian Arab and he would be like a bodyguard for me. So whenever I'd get into some controversy he would ease me out of it.”
“John formed other friendships at the art school including with Jeff Mohammed who took on a older brother sort of role in helping John try to cope with the trauma of his mother Julia’s sudden death.”

“Soon after we met, John gathered around him a coterie of friends and admirers (including Geoff Mohammed and his girlfriend Ann Mason, Dave Davies, Tony Carricker, and me) who were good artists, quite brainy, and appreciative of John’s graphic, eccentric humor and offbeat art.”
“John needed Stuart really badly,” says Cynthia. “He was going down the wrong road with these two characters, Tony Carricker and Geoff Mohammed, and he probably realized it because John wasn’t stupid. It was Stuart who persuaded John to concentrate more on his art and less on messing about. When John saw Stuart’s work, he was inspired by it. He started painting a lot more seriously himself, slapping great canvases around.”
