Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

As a little tribute to the Haringey of old, here are some vintage pictures of Haringey/Tottenham/Spurs skins and assorted bootboys.

Disclaimer: although the political views of every single individual in these pictures are not known to me, these are no Nazi/white power types in 'skinhead' costumes.

Great link. Great set of photos. Thank you. 

Did you realise that the picture of 'Tottenham skinhead confronted with buttocks, 1969." is Stephen from Berlin? 

Whoops! Are you sure?

Thank you - I thought I recognised him, then thought nah course I don't. Hasn't he posted a similar one elsewhere, or did I see it Facebook?

Alex, don't worry. At the time of the photo Stephen was living in Warwick Gardens, Harringay

But the year stated is correct/reasonable sounding, right? Or is it totally off? Thanks to you both.

Yes, I think that's right but I'm sure he'll be along to confirm. When I said Stephen is in Berlin, that's where he lives now not then :) I think he's written about that photo somewhere (maybe FB)

Stephen's on the site. No doubt he'll let you know about the year  - and the buttocks!

Brilliant. Suffice to say, it would be great if he could contribute more photos from the era.

Thanks for this Alex. First image is excellent;

1970 tottenham hotspurs skinheads

But that one of Stephen from Berlin ... classic!! What HOL was made for.

And what an action shot this is! (cnr Alfoxton Ave & West Green Rd);

Police chase skinhead during rioting in Wood Green, July 1981.

The photo was taken 19/07.1969 in Tottenham.. It's posted here https://www.flickr.com/photos/isarsteve/2536099772/in/album-7215760...

Excellent, Stephen - I'm adding that info.
