"In 1958, a gang acquaintance was involved in the murder of a policeman. Talking about it at work he mentioned that he had been taking photographs of his friends; asked to bring them in, he was dispatched to the Observer, whose picture editor, Cliff Hopkinson, chose a photo of the Guvnors posing in their suits on various levels of a bombed-out building. "
