Do you know this man!

Quball15

I've already posted this in the puzzles and quizzes forum but I got no answers and the deadline for the quiz is tomorrow. So as a last resort, I'm posting it here, hoping that out of the amount of traffic here someone is bound to know!

Its the last question I need out of 100.

Suggestions so far were Noel Coward, Kenneth Williams, both wrong.

Any help will be very appreciated!!

Thanks

Gordon

What do we win?

Quball15

A huge air five! ;-) or I could dedicate a goal in the next Boards football match :-D

Gordon

Ah well then it's not worth me telling you..

It looks like Horace Plunkett, back in my school days we had a picture of him in our books. He was some kind of early republican i think...

Rb

Believe it or not that is Adolf Hitlers father.

cornbb

He looks like the Big Friendly Giant from the Roald Dahl book

Hmmm, just did a quick google of Horace Plunkett, not him. But appreciate the effort! cheers

99% sure it's Eamon De Velara.

Compare the ears / nose.

Looks like DeValera could be a winner alright. If not though, Pighead proposes, a young David Kelly perhaps?

De Valera is what I originally thought but I couldnt find the same picture so I wasn't fully convinced.

Looks like a young Charlie Haughey to me.

Found it on google images.

So show us!

Quball15

Ah I meant I couldn't find a picture of De Valera that was the same as the one in the quiz.

Sometimes, you can find the exact same picture which leaves no doubts. But haven't been able to do that with this one

But I will probably put down Dev if I dont get anything else! Thanks

I thought it was David Kelly too Pighead.

I don't think it looks much like de Valera.

In favour of De Valera, the ears match in those two photos posted, but that's it. I don't think it's him either.

MooseJam

Its your ma !

InFront

Wouldn't have thought DeValera, is this guy not approaching middle age? Dont think Dev looked like that in his 40s (but I'm a terrible judge of age...)

Dave!

Yeah, he's sound.

That won't work in court!

Anti

Its not devalera, the ears ar ein no way a match, or the nose or cheek bones. No idea who this floopy eared fool is tbh. But good luck with it.

woosaysdan

is it that fella that played the grand-father in into the west??? too lazy to google it tbh!!!

Ruu_Old

^ He was David Kelly, Tito! Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread.

leche solara

His name is Ronnie O'Callaghan.
He's my next door neighbour.

Cunny Funt agrees with Pighead.

InFront

I think pighead gets it

Picture 1
Picture 2

Agree with Pighead also.

The guy in the photo looks early/mid 50's ... judging by the snazzy pattern on his shirt collar I'd place the photo late 1970's / early 1980's... putting his approximate date of birth around the 1930 give or take.

A caboodle at imdb places our man at 1929
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0446303/

So it looks a hell of a lot like him and the years look about right.

Pighead

Pighead waves to the cheering crowd and puts up his hand in anticipation of Quball 15's promised air high five.

Don't leave me hanging buddy!

InFront

He's offline I think. Would it be terribly cruel if everyone deleted their posts now and pretended nobody had come up with the answer and Pighead could claim the prize?!:D


I don't know why I suggested that, must be turning evil:mad:

Quball15

I'd love to give you the promised air 5 pighead but alas i am not convinced it is the right answer!

And thats indeed very evil InFront!

From hero to zero.

It's not David Kelly.
Dunno who it is, but it's not him.

InFront

of course it's him!
look at the long eyes, the bent and crooked nose, the mouth like a flat envelope, the ears...

connundrum

Thought I had it here, but looking at the ears again.. mebe not

Mini air5? No? Ok
