Looks Familiar

He has a familiarity about him, standing all of 5ft something, thick-set frame and legs that have done the rounds on most council football pitches on a Sunday morning. Something of the 1960s or 1990s with the hair, kind of not sure if it wants to be a fluffed up '60s mod crop or a swept over early '90s John Squire or Paul Weller type chop. No doubt a man who's style is heavily influenced by music. A rounded face, with pink cheeks and always smoothly shaven, it's difficult to pinpoint an exact age but he is perhaps threatening to belie a man that's well into middle-age. Always the same t-shirt style (usually a band name or some retro football reference) and always black, dark blue and on the odd occasion, green. A bomber-style jacket is usually the outer wearing of choice, perhaps with a logo such as Weekend Offender, Sergio Tacchini or CP Company. 'He's a wannabee hooligan', some might say but others may say simply an appreciator of decent clobber. Blue jeans, straight cut, never too tight or too baggy and threatening to be a little too short at times, with a neat pair of 1980s Adidas terrace-wear trainers on his feet. Yes, he certainly looks familiar.
