Title: Help to identify this Man
Post by: snoopy666 on November 04, 2016, 11:45:00 am

Hi from London Uk
I recently found a bunch of pics of this guy.They all are press photos taken around 1960 of him.
There is one which seems like he is being detained by police and walking with them,and the others are later ones when hes older.
Can anyone put a face to name...
ps no hes not Castro as someone mentioned over here..but does look similar in the bearded arrest photo

Hi yes he is
There are a couple of photos of him with instruments.
The arrest photo is interesting and shows him with two British Cops i think,as all the photos of him were taken in the UK by different newspapers as i have the newspaper stamps on the back of the photos
