Gulp.
1969.
Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1.
They’d like to see the editor.
Everything. As It Happens.
That’s a young Robbie Keane, second row on the right.
Presumably these are 60’s era working class, non-racist skinheads and not neo-Nazi skinheads?
This, not the other kind
Skinheads… Growing up we always said they had more hair than brains. Loved fighting and picking on anyone who appeared to have thought processes, long hair, Mohicans, the possibility of a job, a vocabulary that was not monosyllabic, appreciated poetry, books, was a Goth….
They were the worst of all the youth subcultures. I remember them attacking people at various larks in the parks in the 80s. Picking on Goths (an easy target) and any male even vaguely different looking.
They didn’t fare so well against the leather clad spiked Punks and Bikers mind you.
How many of them wear braces now?
