Biography

Haynes was brought up in Northampton and attended Parklands infants school and then the junior school until his family split and moved to London in 1974. Living in Marble Arch, he attended St Georges School in Hanover Square before returning to the nomadic travellers lifestyle travelling to Lanarkshire and Essex for periods with intermittent schooling. He moved to Wales in 1977, where he attended Sir Thomas Picton School in Haverfordwest. There he formed punk rock band Picture Frame Seduction. In 1980 he appeared on the compilation album Demolition Blues with the song "Getcha Rocks Off". This is referenced in an interview with Haynes and ex-manager Jan Molby by BBC Radio Wales in 2002 after his football supporters group based in Gloucester assisted local fans in ousting then Swansea City owners from the club.

Picture Frame Seduction split up, then reformed in 1999.[1] In 2004 the band featured in Burning Britain: A history of UK Punk Rock.

Publications

In 1998, Haynes published his first book, titled Come on Cymru. His second, in 1999, was Come on Cymru 2000. He has since written books on professional and international footballers and on local history. He has also broadcast for the BBC in Wales and written for mainstream newspapers and publications including The Daily Mirror.[2][3] His most recent books have been biographical accounts of his experiences following Swansea City.

gollark: I mean, it's not too bad if your *cable* wears out, but it *is* if the device's does.
gollark: (somehow I wrote microUSB there, oops)
gollark: I'm comparing it to USB-A for point 4.
gollark: <@!111608748027445248> - Too many different things over identical looking physical connectors: a "USB-C" port might support power-delivery *input*, power-delivery *output*, Thunderbolt, two different incompatible kinds of video output, and various speeds from USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (whyyy).- The ports on devices can end up wearing out problematically, though I don't know if this is better or worse than on competitors like Lightning or µUSB.- A lot of peripherals still don't support it, though this is hardly *its* fault.- I think the smaller connector means you can't put as much weight on it safely, for bigger USB stick-y devices, though I am not sure about this.
gollark: Eh. Sort of. It has its own problems.
