Finding old photos of you can be quite distressing, and it's no wonder people used to take the **** out of me when I was 18/19. Here I am, approximately 11 years ago, posing like a little emo boy.
I hope this brightens your Friday, but you have to show me what you looked like in the past.

*Edit* - Added another one, my god.

I have the trendy photos too, but then I would be too famous were I to release them. C & J, what are you going to do when your hair falls out? What trendy beard and moustache combo have you in mind?
I haven't fully recovered yet form the loss, because having a shock of blonde hair gives one psychic protection and a bald head can be confused with a particular personality that is an anathema to me.

I've been quite lucky with my hair, a lot of my peers are balding or bald, or thinning/receding. I've got all my hair as I always have had and not really any grays, yet.
I do actually have a beard I kind of look like Frankie Boyle these days, especially with the glasses.

Lucky man.
Since my hair fell out, the women have fallen out.

I remember first time I wore the yellow kit at school PE teacher kept blocking his eyes from the glare. It was the first yellow kit to be seen at school then a Leeds fan showed up in his.
BTW people said I looked liked Sting, but I dont think so, I surely can't sing like him although I do play guitar in a band

My future daughter-in-law said a young Josh Brolin, although she may have been attempting to curry favour, I fancy !!
Regrettably, it's more Stephen Fry these days ....

In the 80's I was likened to actor Ian Sharrock who played Jackie Merrick in Emmerdale Farm.
Probably more recently better known as the 'mentalist' in an episode of I'm Alan Partridge.

I overheard the wife of a friend of mine trying to fix me up and stop leading her husband away say "He's not Richard Gere but he's not Quasimodo either." So that's OK then.

I look pretty much the same a decade on facial features wise.
The last decade seems to have added a little beard and shorter and much greyer hair.
*i wasn't going to but will add a picture to combat your emo phase with my more "I'm so cool wearing a scarf and fake leather jacket" phase a decade ago*

The columnist Keith Waterhouse, once wrote,"I was at a family gathering and realised that I was middle aged, when the Daddies Sauce bottle was passed to me and the picture looked like my son, not me!"

Late 80s I used to get Steve Nicol a lot. My grandad used to say it, then I played cricket for Rolls Royce at Padiham. I despatched the first ball for 6 straight back over the bowlers head and got a 'great shot Stevie Nicol' from a fielder. I had similar hair colour and had it in a similar style to the Liverpool player.
