BiographyConnell was born in 1961 in Brighton, England. He left school at 16 and became a scaffolder. In 1977, he gained public attention after appearing in a television documentary presented by Janet Street-Porter about skinheads.[2] During the 1980s, Connell was highly active in an Arsenal FC's hooligan "firm" and was a "main face" amongst the ranks. At the same time, he was influential in ensuring that the BNP -then trying to infiltrate football firms - failed to gain any foothold at Arsenal.[3][4] Connell was employed as a bodyguard for the Pet Shop Boys' first tour in 1989. For the next eighteen years, he assisted the duo on tours and appeared in music videos, including "So Hard" and "Jealousy".[5] He also provided additional vocals on "One and One Make Five" on their 1993 album Very. In 1997, Connell appeared as one of the subjects of Sam Taylor-Wood's piece Five Revolutionary Seconds XIII, after meeting whilst she was directing the Pet Shop Boys' residency the Savoy Theatre.[1] The same year, he was referenced in a flashback scene in the film Fever Pitch. DeathConnell died aged 46 in a car crash in Moscow in October 2007. His funeral was held at the Mary Magdalene Church in Holloway Road and was attended by 3,000 people. The Pet Shop Boys also performed a benefit night for Connell's family called Can You Bear It?.[1][3][6] In 2009, a plaque dedicated to Connell near the Emirates Stadium was removed by Islington Council, despite opposition from fans.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2007/nov/22/obituaries.guardianobituaries |title=Obituary – Dainton Connell |author=Heath, Chris|date=22 November 2007|work=The Guardian|publisher=guardian.co.uk|accessdate=22 May 2011}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/janet-street-porter/editoratlarge-the-shameful-trial-of-kate-mccann-397444.html|title=Editor-At-Large: The shameful trial of Kate McCann|author=Street-Porter, Janet |date=21 October 2007|work=The Independent on Sunday|publisher=independent.co.uk|accessdate=22 May 2011}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/arsenal/article2696597.ece|title=Thousands attend funeral of legendary Arsenal fan |author=Ahmed, Murad |date=19 October 2007|work=Times Online |publisher=The Times |accessdate=22 May 2011}} 4. ^Farewell to The Bear.
