The 'Lookalike of the Week' Archive 46-50


A former legend (eh?) TV hero of the past

Ah, the 80s...

Former Newcastle and Pompey legend Micky Quinn and ITV stalwart Bob Carolgees

Maybe it's just the tashes, but I think there's a distinct resemblance. They both had a Golden era in the late 80s and both kind of disappeared without trace as the 90s wore on. Just out of interest, this is what Bob's agent's website says about the great man:

'A most unassuming, professional Artiste, Bob is well respected at every level in thebusiness, in which he seems assured of a place for many years to come.'

Hmmm..... Can't figure out if Mick's impersonating Al Capone or Saddam Hussein...




A man whose career has stalled somewhat... About time the boy made a truly classic movie...

Maybe it's just the hair, but....

Fringe Liverpool squad member Patrick Berger and Brat-Pack star Johnny Depp

This one came to me as I watched Liverpool's abysmal performance at Chelsea which culminated in non-qualification for next year's Champions' League. Scant consolation for Everton finishing outside the UEFA positions. Still, I'd have taken 7th place if you'd offered it at the start of the season. And what a surprise that the boy Rooney picked up a knock against Man U that will keep him out of the squad for the South Africa game. Yes, Sven. Moyes IS the boss...




A man whose career has stalled somewhat... I don't watch Hollyoaks, so....

Hmmm....

Fringe Liverpool squad member Patrick Berger (again) and some geezer called Kristian (aka Max Brown) from Hollyoaks

After seeing my lookalike comparing Berger with Johnny Depp in the last update (sometime ago now!), Dr Craig Butts contacted me with the suggestion that this fella from Hollyoaks was a better likeness for Liverpool's forgotten man. I'm glad to see that one of the brightest minds in the SouthWest watches Hollyoaks (sadly, I don't stoop so low. EastEnders is low enough for me!), and I think that it is a fair comparison. Cheers, Craig.




A man who has changed the face of football... A man who has changed the face of music...

Ah yes, that 'difficult beard phase'

Chelski's Loadsamoney new owner Roman Abramovich and Jimi Goodwin of Doves fame

When I heard that Chelsea were being sold, I felt a surge of joy erupting inside me. 'At last - Ken Bates is for the scrapheap!'. Then I heard that Bates was retaining his seat on the board. NO! Now that crazy old fool can lord it over the rest of the premiership, showering Roman's billions on the cream of Europe's footballing talent. Not happy... As for Mr Goodwin, I have to say that the first two Doves albums are among my favourites of the decade so far, and I look forward to the third. Wish we could emulate their success.....




Europe's least diplomatic, most corrupt leader... Hollywood legend

Those wonderful Italians...

Mr Mafioso Corruptus (aka Italian President Silvio Berlusconi) and Hollywood legend Danny Devito

Thanks to Dr Mark Oakley for the suggestion. You may remember seeing this picture of Silvio Berlusconi with George 'Dubya' Bush in last week's 'Quote of the Week', where I suggested that somebody might come up with an amusing caption. I received this message from Mark shortly afterwards:

'Before reading the caption I thought "Why has Dubya got his arm round Danny deVito?". Perhaps a candidate for lookalike of the week?'

So here it is.... Cheers, Mate!
