Living in Solihull, as he did/does, he often popped up in the local rags. Every feckin’ article would mention that his teeth were insured for a million quid. There, right next to the article, would be a picture of the twunt with that stupidly exaggerated grin that was just waiting to be kicked in.
Not a fan…

Graeme, i bet this song, which links to both of them (Mclean via “The three men I admire most, The Father, Son and Mickie Most” and Maclean via conspiracy to murder with Peter Glaze), doesn’t help.

Perhaps there should be a shadowy Third Man in the picture above.
