Young Peter??
Hi folks!
Peter went to Elliot School in Putney as a kid. The school has its own web site with old photos of former pupils. So I had a look at them, and found a boy that might be him... It's the third to last photo under the section "Elliott Putney (after 1956) gallery 1", provided by one Julian Proudman. http://www.elliottonians.com/pictures/1950on/index.html The boy I'm thinking of is number 4 from left in the middle row... I've been comparing with the childhood photos of Peter from the Celmis biography. The boy's eyes are similar to Peter's, and the ears and mouth are also similar. Peter isn't very tall either... On the other hand, shouldn't the guy who provided the photo know if the one and only PETER GREEN was on the photo...? I didn't take the time to check with the year either.. it's supposed to be from around 1960 .. don't know if it would fit with Peter's age at the time.. he would be areound 14 in 1960, right? Soooo..... what do you think?? Daniel |

Don't think so unfortunately...
What a brilliant initiative, Dansven! Thank you. A great piece of detective work!
But I have now been comparing the picture on the Elliott site and in Celmins book very closely (dear Watson...) and I must say I don't think it is Peter Green on the picture - unfortunately. Peter looks older at twelve in Celmins book than the boy (supposedly fourteen(ish))on the school picture. Also I think the boys face is too triangular and also his nose is too short. This boy also looks out on the world in a more extroverted fashion than P.G. does even on the childhood pictures. You are also right that the person who went to his class and provided the picture would surely know who he was - or would he? Maybe we Greenophiles takes this for granted!!! I wish some former school mates would read this and send in "the right picture" though Does anybody agree or disagree? Ms Moose |

But.... as you mentioned, Julian Proudman (second from the right, top row) provided the picture so maybe he could share his knowledge. On the other hand, left of Julian is John Vince. John provided the first picture. Perhaps he can be found? Then, third picture, third row, 4th from the left is Edmund Spevock. I found him at : http://elliottonians.com/reference/f...ott_people.htm Ed Spevock 1958 - 1963 Musician Drummer Various groups in the sixties as a drummer, until making it into Babe Ruth around 1973. Joins the reformed Chicken Shack in 1977. Ed Spevock currently plays with a Steely Dan tribute band funnily named Stealing Dan (and Don). Ed Spevock is also a founder of Baroque to Rock, a music school for children, How come he and Peter didnīt find each other back then? Anyway, he should be able to be traced and asked. Good luck, Wouter |

Thanks for the kind words about my "detective work", Ms Moose and Wouter.
I guess being a fan of a cult hero (Peter really is one!) has turned me into a nerd.. And thanks for your replies, and for pointing out Ed Spevock !! Perhaps Mr Joe Green can tell us the answer about the photo....? Daniel |

Thanks. (But) I can't believe the boy (number 4 from left in the middle row) is Greenie.
But the boy (number 2 from left in the middle row: Girl - Boy1) with the big ears and the open mouth looks like Greenie (to me)? Popmuseum |

Yes, I see the boy .. but he doesn't look like Peter to me!
Our Green is probably not there at all! But it puzzles me why no such photo of Peter and class has appeared yet. |

I agree with Popmuseum, but I also think the kid fourth from the right in the back row looks a little like Peter.
BTW, I wonder how may pervs got pissed off when they found this page through Google...
