I was out for my lunch today and there was a gentleman in the restaurant who I’m sure I recognised. Now maybe he gets the same bus as me or maybe he is someone famous?

He was:
Early 70s
White shaggy hair (lots of it)
white eyebrows.
In glasgow
if I had to bet he’s something to do with sport.

anyone know who he might be?

Partick has a Blue Lagoon with a garden table OP? Surely you must be mistaken, it's South Hyndland now!

Des Lynham?

I really thought he was dead! Who am I thinking of?

Des O'Connor?

What was the Captain doing with his hand in that undies pic above? Was he adjusting his Alpenstock or strumming an imaginary low-slung tiny banjo?

The singing dog from the Flash advert?

Early 70s - tick (in dog-years)
White shaggy hair (lots of it) - tick
white eyebrows - tick
In Glasgow - quite possibly
if I had to bet he’s something to do with sport. - chases a ball whenever he can.

None of those. Thinner in the face

Not captain birdseye. No one as famous as rod or billy.

I don’t hear him speak.

mumsnet has solved more random puzzles than this …

Hmm, I'm not sure that's true.

You don't even know if he is "someone" or even what he might be famous for.

If it isn't Captain Birdseye👨‍✈️, it's definitely the dog from the flash advert!
