No wonder he hid that haircut

Known for his suave, almost foppish image, Garnell has always been particularly careful of his golden locks. Some would say he suffers from 'samson complex' in his desire to keep that hair so neat and tidy, untouched by the scissors and razors of others. This extraordinary shot, discovered in the loft box and revealed by painstaking use of a magnifying glass shows just why he would not have wanted anyone to know about those Newport days...



Garnell is flanked in this shot by the other members of the glasses gang: Moore and Coates, as they were known.

We could have predicted this, however, as this very early shot (probably the earliest known image of Garnell) indicates.
