Monkey Gibbons ... aka Arthur Kelly, George’s childhood best friend who George started The Rebels with in the fifties.
The photo on the left is Arthur Kelly playing ‘Monkey Gibbons’ in (Brit soap) Coronation Street, c. June 1976 (screenshots from Corrie 21st June 1976, episode 1610), and with Eddie Yeats (Geoffrey Hughes) on the right. Sorry the photos are so small, literally the only pictures I could find!
Trivia: In the soap, Monkey Gibbons best friend was Eddie Yeats, who was played by Geoffrey Hughes (pictured here in Corrie with Arthur). Geoffrey Hughes was the voice of Paul in Yellow Submarine (among many other acting credits).
