Superstar Hairdos

[Beef Oven!]

Enviously regarding pictures of Donald Trump in the supplements made me marvel at the beautiful results achieved by those not limited in options because of their chosen career (school teacher, firefighter, nurse, etc).

I think 1970s footballers had some of the most beautiful hair ever. My schoolboy favourite was always Ralph Coates - even Bobby Charlton couldn’t get close to Ralph. But, although I remember John Dempsey very well from his playing days, it had escaped me as to how gorgeous his hair was.





Ralph’s hair was arguably even more splendid than Donald Trump’s.



But less practical ....

Isn't Trump's coiff what gives the very phrase "a bad hair day" a bad name? Not that it would occur to me to describe him as a "superstar" (even though some of his more bizarre pronouncements are quite enough to make almost anyone exclaim "Jesus Christ")...

Ralph Coates was my favourite chewing gum card. That was when he had a comb over and looked ten years older than anyone else. While I bought the chewing gum, I didn't ever chew gum as that was a bit down market. I put my money into it so that I could be involved in a community of chewing gum card collectors in the days when that was everybody.

As my Yorkshire-born mother used often to say: buy gum!

I wanted to collect the cards, but my dad refused to give me the money he didn’t have to buy them. Cost me dear in the end. If I’d got the collecting out of my system in my formative years, I wouldn’t be collecting CDs and Apple products etc, in later life!

I'm not quite sure how I got the money. It was all I had at the time and I never completed the collection. The coin collections from petrol garages were easier because petrol had to be bought but I relied on relatives mainly as we didn't initially have a car. I was going to suggest Carmen Miranda - then I looked at the pictures and realised that she was very off topic in the way that Gertrude Shilling and The Cat in the Hat would be off topic so how about Albert Einstein who was probably a lousy footballer but could be a superstar of sorts?

... well, you could always go for Camus. Limited as a writer, inadequate as a philosopher, but brilliant as a goalie. Or so I'm told.

And quite a cool dude -

Nobody could say that of David Icke -

"Icke didn’t actually have much of a footballing career – but he did spend a bit of time between the sticks for Coventy, Northampton and Hereford."

That’s quite clever - you’re a wasted talent. Come over to our side.

S_A is already on our side! I agree the first bit, though!

But he did get somethings right that I think it fair to suggest rather made up for that...
