Eddy Byrne's disembodied head has presumably already been eaten in the second picture.
Edit - Shit, it went onto the next page.
Edit 2 - Jeez, I'll quote the post then.

You know how OJ Simpson is in prison for armed robbery, convicted largely on the evidence that someone recorded the entire incident? Turns out that someone was Jon Stitcher's dad.

From the incredible piece of online content that is the Twitter account 80s Footballers Ageing Badly comes this classic match-up of Moustachioed John Gillies versus 70s Chris Butler. Topical references all around.

I think there was one comparing you to footballer Javier Mascherano but maybe it was a post in which the image links are broken.

I wish I'd got a photo of it, but the post guy in our office is an exact lookalike of Mark Deeks, right down to face, hair, facial hair, height, build and dress sense. The only thing spoiling the illusion is post guy's voice, which is about an octave and a half higher than Mark's.
