I see he's had a shave for the photo...

Hasn’t changed much height wise either

Still got that winning smile too. This photo is the one I used before in my first book and was obviously taken at the same time as the one with my Mum. A good shot of the bait tub of rag worms and, just for Dave, check out those Clarkes!

Great pics thank you - it was a different world back then.....

I love the shot of your Mum (in her Sunday best?) smiling, while in reality she is probably terrified that you will a) fall in; b) cast the hook into your eye; c) slice your finger open while chopping half a rag worm for the next cast; or d) actually catch one and get slime all over those nice clean clothes.
Mums are so special.

Two pairs of shoes Bob! Obviously well heeled!!!!!

Looks like I have a plaster on my heel with those sandals. I bet they were bought too large to last 2 summers.
