Dave Nevison's hair

Is it a syrup they have them sewn in to the head lol

That crossed my mind as well, seems a lot longer as well as darker!

Failed ‘ pro ‘……

Presumably down to Dave's "Damascus road experience" now boring us as a prolific left wing commentator on X.

Failed ‘ pro ‘……

The irony

Can't afford to get it cut.

I think it’s likely a clever wig as opposed to one too perfect to look real, but a wig nonetheless. Mind you things have progressed since the days of the Peter Swales hair piece.

How he got over that £300k return with the jock falling off is beyond me....that must have stung

id imagine he'd be at a swiss hair clinic if he were a successful pro rather than wigsRus

I remember that

One geezer on-track, one of the early ones, got the lot

Dreadful look he should be told to smarten up……

leave him alone. you are horrid people

nevison chucked his job, went full-time, had some success, then not so much, but had a great time and lives in a nice gaff in the country. and wrote a book about it

not bad. shame hes now a raspberry, poor bugger

Busyfool - what is a raspberry please?

Raspberry ?

Ripple

No, raspberries and figs are not closely related botanically; raspberries are in the rose family (Rosaceae) with apples and strawberries, while figs are in the mulberry family (Moraceae) with mulberries and breadfruit, but some fig varieties have a flavor profile that tastes similar to raspberries, leading to names like "Raspberry Fig".

i know raspberry is a soft fruit, dont get how Busyfool is using it in context?

Maybe, Raspberry Fig = Syrup and Fig = Wig

raspberry ripple is rhyming slang for someone like nevo who is severely disabled

RTY - i feel suitably embarassed by my ignorance (yet again)

i was always known as wallsend greatest wig spotter...ive never seen him today will will have a look.

how do you know?

ive spotted every syrup that weaved into range, they are so obvious

or are they?

there might be thousands of geezers with the most perfect advanced syrup that fools everyone and its a top secret in slaphead circles

Disabled ?

He wears a boot busyfool….

Apology if he is wheelchair driven….

he's always had a decent head of hair,it's like Doc from back to the future today.

when I saw him at Waterloo station he was in a wheelchair so I assumed it was bad. Could be wrong, but I know hes been quite ill

Maybe he was just feeling a bit lazy that day

And its not a syrup

Certainly not a syrup he ain’t the type tbh….

Diabetic i think which gives him jip….

i don't care what he looks like but his constant erms when trying to string a few words together does my head in

He has diabetes, can be debilitating and nerve damage is irreversible, sometimes resulting in limb amputation.

Hes a veritable wordsmith compared to some others, who will remain nameless, like Inanity, Donkey and the pie-faced idiot Stafford

100% no wig..just let it grow and brushed it back..looks like may have a darker rinse on it.

thanks vidal

Long hair on any bloke looks dirty tbh……never seen the point imv…

eye conquer dave,possible it could tangle with the anús hair.

D.N. was on the same train as me going to Plumpton one afternoon and he did not look a well man at all. Using a walking stick he was struggling from the platform to the track.
Poor bloke.

thats all for show to pass for PIP.

Maybe he's growing it out for an acting gig.

He’s been acting for decades imv

I for one enjoyed Nevo's books about how he made a fortune backing value horses and then spaffed the lot up the wall chasing miracle Tote bets that never came off.

He had one massively unlucky run though on the big payoffs - I think it was James Davies that fell off on a run in to the line that would have won him a small fortune.

Would have been monster payoff, but instead a miracle loss - that would gut any of us to be fair.

Still haunted to this day….350 large..

This was it, how would any of us feel...

the sole track-player felt quite good

He had to go a speak to the jockey later to find out what had happened.  It helped him to come to terms with it stu.
It happened to me once.  Life-changing money beaten a nose. Quite shattering experience at the time.
