Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

Even knowing town well as a kid can't remember the original Mulberry Tavern on Mulberry Street. The Arundel Gate one opened in what 1973/74?

Can you remember Bomber Greaham working behind the bar in the Mulberry.

All my watering holes.
By the way Woodseats was the firm in Scamps

Do you remember when the trainee coppers used to go in acting all big and clever? That soon stopped.

The Four Tops had been at the Fiesta once and were in there after. No security apart from a small guy from Detroit. Got their autographs. They were drinking Scotch like there was no tomorrow.

No, but it was never a regular haunt.

Bouncer Joe could sort everything out in there always had plenty of friends around him.

We got drinking talking about old times both of us totally bollocked at the end of the night.

Used to be a regular in CJs knew Colin Walters well Vinny as well

Never liked Vinny or got on with him. Colin was sound. Used to play U18 football with him.

A few of us had been out with him the day he broke into Walshs and went to the top floor and got in bed and went to sleep. In the coffee bar on Chapel Walk before and he said he was tired.....

Got locked up with Kenny Rowe once following the Pigs. .

Spoiler: Answer

Jim Bone

October 1973. Think the goal was disallowed. Match ended in a 1-1 draw and Woody scored our goal with a penalty and the photo wasnt just after Woody's goal

That wasn't at Hereford was it?

Think they'd played there and stopped somewhere on thexway back. Colin always said it wasn't him.

The legend on the photo (I'll have to dig it out ) said that Shilton pulled off a great save. A couple of Blades in the crowd there thought it had gone in.

Cheers. I wasnt at the match as I was at boarding school. When I first saw the photo in SUFC images two years ago it looked like Bone was celebrating with the fans. I was confused, then I had a look in the video of Woody's goal and the aftermath wasnt like as it was in the photo.Thanks for clearing it up

Not quite the same photo, but the description is there - I'm guessing this was a couple of seconds after the first photo I posted. Bone does not look happy, does he?

Woody struck the penalty very hard (and accurately too) despite Shilton going the right way. It is in Woody's tribute video

Saw Roy Elliott about a two years ago, him and Billy J in Maggie Mays. Nothing's changed but known them both from being a kid. Charlie Lindley was also with them although he strung along with Blades after matches with Jimmy Hobson.

Marples. What a dump that was.

Monday night was punk night in the early 80s, (no Northern Soul to be seen). Orgainised by Pax/Rat Records who had a shop at the backn of the Leadmill on Suffolk Road.

Some brilliant nights seeing Vice Squad, Discharge, Infa Riot, Mau Maus (from Killamarsh) and many many others. Only a short sprint down to Pond Street to catch the last Dinno bus.
