And the answer is:
The creator of Tintin - Georges Remi, otherwise known as Herge
For those of you confused by the clues, Perry Groves’ nickname at the club was Tintin, due to his hair. Perry was George Graham’s first signing.
A second bust of Arsene? (26/10)

blimey. i had no idea. oh well. we've had plenty of pics of jabba the uzbek but that doesn't mean we condone his views.

Personally, I think it's better than endless puns about tits that seem to prevail in other threads.
Remi view's about Africa and colonialism are rather cringe-making (though typical of Belgians in the pre-war period) and his war record is dodgy - see the Shooting Star.
But he stood up for China when it wasn't fashionable to do so (Blue Lotus) and was critical of pre-war fascism (King Ottokar's Sceptre) and post-war communism (Calculus Affair).
So it's a mixed record and it's a bit too simplistic just to tar him as a racist and fascist.
I'm sure you all wanted to know that.

You got all that from the "tintin" series? Jesus, I just looked at the pictures

I would be happy to join any sensible non-tit related discussion you wish to begin Graham

Looks like...
That bust seriously looks like Gordon Brown... Poor chaps that have to see his face everyday... but it could be worse ... it could resemble Dubya or his girlfriend Bliar...
