Weren't there several pics of footie kit and straitjackets? I'm sure I've seen other pics from the shoot before.

I named him "Crazy" George because he was so normal - he loved the name and would call me up and say 'Hello, Crazy calling'. There is a photo of him as a crazy doctor on the Iron Maiden single Can I Play With Madness with the band in straight jackets. I thought it was a great idea, a bit silly now.
I had the exact same thought.That makes sense. But I can't help but think that he looks a wee tiny little bit like Blaze Bayley.
Well, Ross Halfin took the picture, so I can imagine he might know.
Thanks for that mate, great to finally have an answer after all these years!George Bodnar, a photographer, friend of Ross Halfin:
