Kevin Murphy, still looks the same but the hair isnt that long anymore.
You will always find him in the White Lion on Pem witha bottle of Guinness and the horse racing paper.

Jemmy Glover with hair!! At least the Clientele of the ‘Boot’ has improved since that photo Jemmy – no more ’rif-raf’, perms or fags!(except for Wardy)

Hiya Jem, Great photo, At first I thowt Bucky was suppin' red wine, but I doubt they served it in the Ball and Boot in 1972! It'd be rum and black, eh. And another thing about them youthful Bucky looks, you could be forgiven for thinking Garry Connolly was his love-child.
