Bowie and Bretherton - you never see them together
Mr Bretherton is reported to look like David Bowie. Although there is debate concerning this matter, the image on the right proves that you cannot argue with the fact that he does resemble him slightly.
He also had his car dinted by some goon in Year 11 with a football.
Contrary to popular belief, doesn't wear a wig and have false teeth, as was proved when Mose tried to pull his hair out.
