Sad to see the news story just received in via The Sun newspaper and written by Jamie
Pyatt on actor Gary Shail who, as we all know, played 'Spider' in 'Quadrophenia'. In the words of the Rolling Stones, "What a drag it is getting old......."
"A STAR
of cult film Quadrophenia went on a boozy rampage at his girlfriend’s flat, a
court heard.
Actor
Gary Shail, 53, who played scooter-riding Spider in the 1979 tale of mods and
rockers, screamed abuse and broke a £1,000 marble table.
He
called Lesley Hannibal “a fat ****”, hurled objects around, smashed her phone
and threatened to kill himself with a knife.
Magistrates
heard recovering alcoholic Shail, who had been drinking, was “like a man
possessed” until cops arrived at the flat in Southsea, Hants.
Prosecutor
Colin Shackle told the Portsmouth hearing the actor was “abusive and vile”.
Simon
Moger, defending, said he was “remorseful” and blamed the drink. Shail, who
admitted assault and criminal damage, was given restraining and supervision orders."
