I've looked at every big name I can think of and none of them match! Why is there no bald bloke with ginger hair at the sides?

At least two very big names are there, I assure you.

I'm sure in less politically-correct times some people would've called this person 'sugar', but it's not the Alan variety.

It's from a Sinclair-related magazine, yes, but right now I can't remember which one.

Update: Not Sinclair User. A multi-format magazine, in fact. But probably a stock press shot used by various other mags.

Right... let's do this. It's clue time!

This is where we're at:

1.
2. Sir Clive Combover
3.
4. Hannah Smith
5. Jonathan ‘Joffa’ Smith
6. Matthew Smith
7.
8. Raffaele Cecco
9.
10. Stuart Campbell
11. T’zer Maughan
12.

And here are you clues for the missing mops:

1. This guy had (and possibly still has) a great imagination.
3. This fellow’s direction was all at sea.
7. This chap’s favourite outfit is a twinset.
9. This is as easy as taking sweeties from a birdie.
12. Design Design.

I'm learning here, if see a bald person they might once have had hair.
