WHILE Millwall fans were, according to the Daily Mirror, heard to sing “no-one loots us, we don’t care” while assembled outside a pub in south London during the riots, 89-year-old barber Aaron Biber was less fortunate, his premises up in Tottenham wrecked by unwanted visitors.
Windows were smashed and several items stolen, among them cotton wool, a kettle and a 20-year-old hairdryer. Happily, a fund set up to help Biber repair the damage raised £35,000, so he’s up and snipping again.
One of his first customers last week was none other than Spurs’ Peter Crouch, who dropped in for a short, back and sides.
You have to say fair play to the fella, because a detail in the story hardly did much for his self-esteem: just about the only item not taken by the looters was . . . an autographed photo of Crouch. And seeing as it was hanging on the wall, it’s not as if they wouldn’t have spotted it.
Poor lad.

Poor old Crouchie.
He's got a Something About Mary thing in that picture.
Maybe Joey Barton came in his face.
Tight-lipped too. Obviously not eating his nachos.
