Arch Stanton has returned from oop north so hopefully will be adding his words of wigdom soon.

Meanwhile, lets have a look as some more quality syrups:

Here is early 60's singing star Frankie Avalon:

Or Frankie Avingalaugh with that piece! Look at that hairline for a 73-year-old! He has more "hair" these days than he did back in his 60's "hairday". The style is very much Bill Shatner (1980s rug).

Who is this long term rug wearer circa 1970?

It is Burt Reynolds in a 1970 publicity still from his short-lived TV series 'Dan August'. By this time 35 year-old Burt had been a wig wearer for at least 7 years.

A couple of latter day pics of Burt clearly after having a wig lift, face lift and everything else botoxed. Burt's funniest rug is in the 1987 film 'Malone'. He stars in that film with veteran toupee troubler Cliff Robertson. It really is a hard struggle to work out who has the worst hairpiece.

Cliff sported some really obvious headgear in the 70's, none more obvious than in the Brian de Palma movie 'Obsession'. It seems to have a mind of its own and I kept thinking it was going to come loose during the picture. Who did he think would believe that it was his own hair?

FFS look at it! One of the worst wigs sported by an Oscar winning movie star. Truly, truly awful!

We will finish today's update with another look at the ever changing style of old Chuckie Norris.

Golden Syrup(s) is a new blog designed to highlight the male celebrities who are bald but can't bear (or should that be "bare") to show the world their hairless pate. Burt Reynolds, William Shatner, Bruce Forsyth, Chuck Norris are just a few of the many celebs out there who thinking having a rug strapped on your bonce is as natural as farting in a crowded train carriage. Over the next few months my pal Arch Stanton & I will be on the look out for syrups, toupees, rugs, wigs on famous bald men.

I will start the blog off with a fairly recent picture of 1950's teen idol Marty Wig (sorry I mean Wilde) father of pop songstress Kim.

As you can see Marty clearly uses chip fat to give his toupee that unwashed look to make it look more realistic. Well Marty that has to be one of the most revolting syrups we have ever witnessed here on Golden Syrup. Toupee Tip for the day - "Use lard to give your wig that greasy look, far more realistic than used chip oil." Burt Reynolds 1979.

Well, I have been watching some of karate king Chuck Norris's early movies of late, the ones where he didn't need to slap on a syrup. Here is a 2012 picture of Chuck wearing a wig that is obviously made of teflon.

Boy oh boy that is a shocker there Chuck. At least if it rains then it will just bounce off that dead rat stapled to his head.

No blog of ruggers would be complete without Radio Fab's DJ Tony Looney AKA Tony Blackburn. A long term wig wearer is our Tone despite his protestations to the contrary.

 Smooth? Yes your fictitious hairline is looking very smooth Tone!

One of the worst wigs doing the rounds these days is sported by the former Tubeway Army singer Gary Numan. Who does he think he is kidding with this poor defenseless black rat glued tight?

It looks as though it is made from shiny plastic material. Looks well crap anyway.

I will finish off the first entry in this ongoing saga with good old Sir Clifford Hairpiece. Sadly now reduced to having to cover up his baldness with this shite ginger thingy.

Arch is off up north (where it is grim, apparently) this week but will be a regular contributor on his return. So keep your eyes peeled now that Golden Syrup's Wigwatch is in full force
