I would have liked to have seen a pun-laden article referring to his 'heir-cut', to be honest. Maybe he's trying to achieve some ironic neo-Charlton style?

Andy, if Pte Pike consciously chose a claret and blue scarf it may have been from seeing my sons at his school wearing the holy colours.   Ian Lavender is a good guy and not at all stupid.

And don't forget the ghost of Field Marshall Montgomery, he was a big Villa fan.   Started watching us when he was CO of the Warwicks I think.

I like the first photo. You can see the guy just thinking that there is no way he is going to try and tackle HRH.

And Dave Ismay.

I still think I win. The current Prime Minister, The Future King, a genius in his field like Nigel Kennedy and an Oscar Winning Tom Hanks are relatively impressive. But none of them have been a regular on Celebrity Squares. Dave Ismay has.

...not forgetting the fact that Dave Ismay has done a turn at the Night Out, possibly even supporting Showaddywaddy - can't recall Hanks, Cameron or even Kennedy reaching such heights
