Who does a young, moustachioed Tony Jacklin remind me of?

Apologies for the weirdness of this thread, but it's been bugging me for days!

I recently caught the tail end of an episode of Sykes from 1973, which featured a young, moustachioed Tony Jacklin, and I thought, "Gosh doesn't he look like....." and then came to a grinding halt.

And I can't for the life of me think who he reminds me of, though I'm pretty sure it's someone famous and not just Fred from down the road!

So, wise people of Mumsnet, who is it? Please put me out of my misery!

No, I think it’s someone shorter and not as glamorous.....

Brilliant suggestions one and all, but none of them are who I have in mind.

I’m now not convinced that the person I’m thinking of even has a moustache.... it was just something about the way he stood, and his demeanour.

Argh why do our brains pull these tricks on us??
