The first of the local Elvis lookalikes is John Carpenter.
He was a fan and an impersonator.
The cutting is dated 1982 and is a report about John winning an Elvis miming contest at an Elvis Presley convention in Edinburgh.
The second local Elvis lookalike is George Webster.
George wasn't a performer, but was a guy who just happened to look like the legend.
It's true he did have the large sideburns and tinted glasses but this was his everyday look.
He used to drink in the Scout with his mates and go play football down at Riverside, where the photo was taken in 1981.
