Full article:
Andy Rourke : I used to drive all the way to Oldham 'cos I thought it was safer than Moss Side. I'd just arrived at this dealer's house, and then the door came crashing down and about twenty undercover police dived in. Apparently, they'd been surveying the place for six months.
It was a massive drugs ring that started in Nigeria, and this dealer was at the bottom of the ladder. The day before, I'd tried to dye my hair blonde, and it had gone orange. I looked like Cilla Black.
When they arrested me, they put me in the cells. I always remember the little slot opening and The Police sniggering, 'Look at his hair!' It was about a week after Boy George had got busted. He stole the headlines, thankfully. But I was on News At Ten.
