Aye he was from Scotswood and Benwell,tough areas at the time.

Skins killed an Angel in Tyneside…

The shaved head look didn’t come about until the late 70s/early 80s when punk collided with the skinhead revival. None of the early skinheads sported bald heads.

@@jaybird2148 thats rubbish 1969 to 71 I was there in 1970 skins were finished after 72

@@kopynd1 I was specfically referring to the practice of shaving your head down to the bone, where there isn't even stubble. The original skins were never doing that, at least based on the various images I've seen. It only became more prevelant in the 1980s when many skins we really nothing more but bald punks.

Roy Weatherhead ~ Yeah, Brilliant i bet that you have seen some amazing things & have some great memories and stories. i was a Skinhead from 1979 - 1987 so i missed it the first time around because i was too young. So we listened to a mixture of Ska & Oi! Music. This Movement was to influence many young people & one of these young people was a young man called Ian Stuart. Ian Stuart, Like so many young men dreamed of a career in Rock ‘n’ Roll. But when in 1977 he formed Skrewdriver, A Punk Group Based in North West England, No one could have predicted the rollercoaster ride that he was about to endure. The Hard Rock Scene & The Punk Movement had a Lot in common with their violent & aggressive style of rock music . Motörhead & Lemmy used to be covered in Nazi Rock memorabilia , & Siouxsie & The Banshees were Pictured with a German Luftwaffe Eagle & swastika on her black shirt. Like Lemmy Said = “The Bad Guys throughout history always had the best uniforms. . . When you think about it . . . . . They were the Rock Stars of their day” So with two singles and an album recorded Skrewdriver were heading for the dizzy heights of rock stardom, But when their concerts became battlegrounds & gained the band a reputation that saw them Banned from London venues, Disowned by their record label and slaughtered in the mainstream music press most people would have put it down to experience & shuffled off into a Dystopian day Job. it is testament to the resilience of Ian Stuart that against staggering odds he refused to be defeated. This Remarkable Story is well documented in the fascinating book called = “The Ian Stuart - Skrewdriver Biography” This records the historical journey that started as a highly rated punk vocalist mixing with the likes of ~ The Sex Pistols, Bob Geldof, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Motörhead, Iggy Pop, Sham69, Sting from the Police, & Suggs From Madness. Right the way thru to National Front Demonstrators, British Movement Marches, Ku Klux Klan Leaders, & Top Skinhead Recruits for the Blood & Honour Organisation that he founded back in 1987. The Record Shops refused to sell his albums, Yet they sold thousands, His Concerts were starved of any publicity, Yet even his enemies would admit that he could easily fill venues as big as the Royal Albert Hall. This Remarkable in-depth story traces his early beginnings in Blackpool through to his Murder as a National Socialist & Skinhead Legend in 1993. Yeah, we’ve all heard stories about rebellious Punk Rock Stars, But this is a Truly unique account of a Rebel with a Cause, & one who lived through the Pain, Pressure, & Patriotic Pride that was his Life. Even if you Revile this Rock Movement, it’s ideas, & it’s Rock Music, This is a very interesting & important piece of Social & Youth Culture History.

I was a Chelsea skinhead aged 15 back in 1969. First home game was in 1965. Shed End, The Middle, from 1969 until 1989, then the North Stand [Mathew Harding Stand] until the West Stand was complete and been there row 21 ever since. Still a skinhead, still wearing my Solovair boots, still wearing polo shirts with three-quarter inch red braces, oh and a naturally [nowadays lol] bald nut. Love being a skinhead approaching 70, I will always be a Skinhead Forever and Forever a Skinhead 🤜🏻🤛🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Reagen was from the Central Station gang. He had a lass in Whitley Bay who was best friends with my girlfriend. On a good day he was a sound guy but on a bad day, especially match day, he was mental.
