I was saddened to hear of the death of Johnny Haynes.
He ran a dry cleaning shop at the bottom of my street.
However, he was also the England football captain when England narrowly beat Scotland 9-3 at Wembley in 1961, (he scored a couple of goals himself that day as well)
He was also the face of the Brylcream TV ad in the UK in the 60s.
This was a much vaunted role at the time, and made him the 60s equivalent of a contemporary supermodel like Archie MacPherson.
Does anyone wear Brylcream these days? I seem to remember it having something of a pungent whiff about it. Maybe it's due a comeback?
Or has hair gel triumphed?
