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.

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;
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);
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.
