Mike Comish

(of the 1974 picture...) You'd taken another picture of me earlier that day. And I met these lads and told them to come and get their photograph taken. And when you gave the photographs to us you wouldn't give me one. You said: "You've already had a free one, so sod off." And I didn't get one.
So the first time I saw it was when it was printed in the Evening Mail the other week. I had a phone call on the way home (he is a British Telecom engineer and carries a portable telephone) and my wife had the paper and told me. Luckily I wasn't in work, I'm on the sick. I had a dislocated elbow playing football, so I've had a couple of phone calls but I haven't actually seen the photocopies. That's yet to come.
