Description
Picture a man, he's tall, not excessively so, yet as wide as he is high. This man is a spitting and growling street brawler, a tank full of ready-to-blow, muscle-fuelled aggression. Imagine, if you will, the comic-book style Bulldog of Great British stamp. Well, there you have him! The prototypical face taken from the terraces of an '80s football fan's rolled-up newspaper cosh, a poster-boy of malevolence left over from Thatcher's post-punk Britain.
