The look is very similar...I was under the impression he couldn't sue though, since you have no say over how your image is used. I guess his lawyer thought otherwise. Or else he saw the £££.

Most of his "unique" characteristics they share were common of the times: thousands of people wore bad fitting clothes, had a mullet and a shit tash in the 70s. Find me someone that didn't, tbh.

She said it was due the heavy leather balls they played with.

It is ludicrous.. Its like all these fat nakers suing people like McDonalds. Its not like they made them eat the 4 Big Mac & Fries. The smoking lot get on my threppny bits as well. Surely there must be something inherintly dangerous about sucking on something that will fill your lungs with smoke.
