Ahh. I liked him. Remember in the 70's when he advertised Brut (Splash it on all over).

As a young nurse of 17 in Dartford, myself and a group of friends made the acquaintance of Henry and George and friends when strolling on the high street. They had just come from boxing practice, and I remember we got into an argument about boxing and its dangers! Agreed to differ, but that didnt further the acquaintance! Both were very nice boys though. I am the same age as Henry.
