Paul McCartney and.David Essex...made me go weak at the knees!

Er, Billy Cotton. I was only three, and I liked his voice on the radio. This crush lasted until I was four and saw his photo in the Radio Times. Then I moved on to the Lone Ranger.

Robert Horton as Flint McCullough in Wagon Train.

Cliff Richard for me only he wasn't called a celebrity in those days, he was a heart throb. I also had the hots for Robert Horton of Wagon Train fame and (also Wagon Train) Rowdy Yates who, I believe, was played by Clint Eastwood.

Ilya Kurayakin from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Adam Faith, although celeb crush is probably overdoing it. I never had a photo of him nor did I buy any of his records but I liked his voice when I heard it and I have always had a soft spot for blonde males.

David Cassidy and it wasn't a crush, I was in looooove. What is it with all these questions?confused.

Steve Marriott of the Small Faces. I was in their fan club and saw them at Newcastle City Hall back in the 60s.

BlueBelle Wed 23-Oct-19 23:02:23

Dirk Bogarde well I didn’t know what gay was then, after him came Adam Faith, Elvis and a calypso singer called Cy Grant

Merelina Wed 23-Oct-19 23:08:42

Laurence Olivier. Heathcliff, Richard III to name but two.

Merelina Wed 23-Oct-19 23:12:20

Oh yes BlueBelle - all of those too.

Amagran Wed 23-Oct-19 23:23:18

Cliff Richard. I never bought records or had photos or any of the other fan stuff. I just drooled quietly and secretly.

Mr Darcy (yes, long before Colin Firth came on the scene)

DillytheGardener Wed 23-Oct-19 23:33:40

Oh goodness, I can’t remember the very first! I do remember having a crush however on Ross from the original Poldark, and these days I still quite like Tom Sellack ?

seasider Wed 23-Oct-19 23:47:10

Marc Bolan for me too. I had pictures all over my bedroom walls !

Elvis, when I was about 10 or 11 and then Paul McCartney.

Chestnut Thu 24-Oct-19 00:06:00

It was Elvis of course! My friend and I had a dolls' tea party on his birthday. Soon followed by Paul McCartney and Sean Flynn (son of Errol) whose movie 'Son of Captain Blood' I must have seen three or four times at the cinema (see picture).

My one and only was Scott Walker (Engel). Gorgeous man!
