Welcome to the first in what we hope will become a weekly feature showcasing Panini stickers of the past. We will bring you some of the finest mullets, moustaches, combovers and perms mixed with a few anecdotes about those who have perpetrated the heinous crimes against fashion and humanity. So here goes with our lead off man…..

PHIL THOMPSON (LIVERPOOL)

tommo

The former Liverpool captain was a key member of the great Anfield sides of the late 70’s and early 80’s, and like so many of his teammates of the time, Tommo adopted the bubble-perm look made most famous by another Reds legend, Kevin Keegan. It’s uncertain whether Thompson thought this laughable hair-don’t would draw attention away from his sodding great conk, but if anything it actually accentuates his prodigious proboscis. Once his highly successful playing days were over, Thompson became a highly irritating, big-nosed, gobshite coach with his beloved Liverpool before becoming an odious, big-nosed, gobshite telly pundit on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday. The way the light catches just half of his mis-shapen face, he sports the swollen features of a man who had recently been given a good shoeing in a pub car park. And quite rightly so.
