Football Afro’s
Footballers haircuts are such a sitting target really but I hope to take this one slightly away from the normal mullet and ‘razored into a ridiculous design’ type examples. Yes, it’s the good old afro hairstyle or footballers perm just as you wish. Perhaps the first and foremost example will always be Kevin Keegan in his Admiral-England-shirt-with-the-teddy-bears down-the-sleeves era and Kevin certainly doesn’t escape. It’s important to note how much competition he had in the ‘hideous’ stakes though.

The Tracks of My Tears
Hi. My name is Stuart Frew and I like to write stuff. That’s why I spent so much time over this intro. There’s no great theme here
apart from the convoluted wasteland that I like to call my mind. I like to talk about places I’ve been, stories I’ve heard and ramble on a little about sport and music too. Currently I’m completing a Masters Degree in Psychology. No, I can’t read your mind.
