BBC

[pommpey]

Couple of observations:

1. I always thought La Singleton and La Stranks were more 'Les' and picked themselves in the hockey team every week.
2. Jenny Hanley. Jesus. H. Tap-dancing. Christ. She was beautiful. So was Janet Ellis, in her ra-ra skirts and stockingtops, the mucky litte strumpet. No wonder Sophie Ellis-Bextor was similarly yummy.
3. Magpie was Blue Peter on acid. Maaaaan. Blue Peter was built and ran by Biddy Baxter who, according to some, was all 'healed up like Barbie, down there'.
4. Grappler is indeed word-perfect with the lyrics to 'Shoreham Republican Army'. The SRA aped the IRA with it's trefoil logo with 'S - R - A' in each leaf.
5. Sally James visited the survey ship HMS Hecla sometime in the early eighties where a mate of mine, Yorkie Braithwaite ... [REDACTED] He vouched that she was as devastatingly sexy close up as on the telly and has a pottymouth as well. This played on my mind for years, obv.
6. Our own BBC - only saw them once running away from the 6:57 down the back of Fratton Park post lino-punching match.
7. Allegedly and uncorroboratively, a music artist was part of the BBC. This comes partly from the hackneyed tale of a Unitedite hitching a lift (not Greenwich) from a minibus full of blokes on the way back from a London match and him identifying some as BBC and him then discovering one bloke at the back buried under his hoody apparently asleep as himself. Sounds a bit like billy bollocks to me, but there you go.
8. One of my family members was attached to said group back in the day but is "'appily middle-aged and away from that sort of shit nahr" which is good.
9. Another one of my family members (similarly claiming attachment) served a three year BDTBL ban for 'wasn't doing anything' on the South Stand with a pigfan.

Anyway, back to football hooliganism. The first hoolies I saw was around 1969 when a bunch of long-haired Stoke 'greebos' were marching down John Street carrying large, home-made red-and-white banners.

We didn't play against Stoke between August 1967 and October 1971

 

[Mad Mick]

I can remember when there was very little bother. Home and away teams used to stand on the Kop. Probably around 66 when it all started getting nasty, but not 100% sure. For your information Susan Stranks had lovely nipples. She also appeared in the film "The 39 Steps". She played a schoolgirl, She and Sarah Green where my favourites.

 

[Weasel]

A good few are members of the boxes at the Lane.
And a good few invite themselves in the boxes on a regular basis.
Ours in particular.

Number 5.....only a guess...

 

[Bladeloyal]

The SRA morphed into the BBC from about 79 to 82/ a younger more active outfit ,sadly now most have replacement hips and knees ,and have to get to the boxes by the lift .

 

[Grappler]

I didn't even know that until you just said

Good old BBC. Always so completely right on. No wonder modern youth are snowflakes with the state propaganda that's been beamed at them for 50+ years. Everybody knows Valerian Singleton was a carpet muncher, do they not? It must have been very upsetting for the BBC that they couldn't find a disabled black transgender carpet muncher back in the 70's. Still, they're making up for lost time now.

Er....."Valerian"?, she was straight, had loads of affairs, including Peter Purvess........

I remember some young lads, years ago, talking about one of the "BBC", an older bloke, organised loads of aggro (as we used to call it), when they told me his name, I laughed, he was an absolute "nowter" as we used to say, from my school. A bully who hung around with a couple of other bullies and picked on younger kids. It would have been right up his street to organise stuff and then conveniently not be there. I remember gang fights when I was a teenager, he would be up at the front, leading us into battle, and as the opposition got closer, he seemed to be sliding back through the mob, until he was behind us all!

I can't be 100% sure, but think he invented "the Moonwalk", about a decade before Michael Jackson did...........

Yep there's been a lot of moonwalkers

 

[super_pig]

Not this isn't a thread about gold ol' Auntie Beeb.........

Been wondering for a while what's happened to our very own 'Blades Business Crew'? I was never in it and have always kept well away from any 'nawtyness'.

Back in the 80's, there was a lot of talk about them and it was my understanding that they 'formed' because our fans kept getting a kicking from oppo fans and it was partly so that we'd have our own crew/element to counteract this. That's likely a bit of a romantic way of looking at it and I'm certain that most of them were in it to give some other fans a good kicking.

So what happened to them? I remember they allegedly stood on the John St terracing as near to the away support as possible. Are they still around? Perhaps some of you were in it or still are?

I remember at school, some kids would say "He's in the BBC y'know" which was supposed to mean "He's really hard and you shouldn't mess with him, lest he and his gang of mates give you a good kicking and possibly worse".

a couple if the more famous ines have sadly passed .. RIP

Diversionary tactic - Peter Purvess clearly doesn't have a penis

 

[Jehovah]

I remember my first day in the crew. Was away at Liverpool and a ten year old said "a a a, you want your ccccccccar safe you need to gimme a qqqqqqquid" the lads left me to deal with it. I walked straight over to him and pulled my fist back....

When I awoke in Liverpool infirmary there was a note on my bed saying "you're out. BBC"

No. Not at all.

Aye. But whether or not he was on said bus, and the conversations alleged to have taken place and the funding of excursions for the purpose of confrontation is a matter of unconfirmed speculation.

Not necessarily unconfirmed speculation. Can't comment on the conversations.

this is the best thread I've seen in ages.
a few looking for intel or war stories about our hooligan element, and the majority wank reminiscing about the 3times a day teenage tugs.

Anna Ford?? Valerie Singleton???? You lot have lost the plot. When it comes to Children's TV fantasy items there's only one...

I always thought Sally James was the type of bird who wanted your load shooting all over her kite

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

Good shout. Forgot about her. Think it was the husky sexy voice and big hair.

I was the same with Susan Stranks
View attachment 32523

After googling images of her, I have found some of when she did a program called "Paper-play" and she had short hair. I am alarmed somewhat to see that she looked like my Mum did when I was younger Analyse that one Sigmund !

Wow, Itsy and Bitsy didn't expect to find them in this thread.

She's got that look, that suggests she could suck an apple through a hosepipe.

Yes we had a few mate.

I remember coming back up on the 43 and seeing all the Rowlinson lads charging about, we jumped off the bus and steamed in.

Happy days.......

 

[John Street West Terrace]

They certainly were. I was a young kid on the edge of the kop for a night match with Leeds - probably late 60s. I'd done nothing (stood with my mum!) and this Leeds cunt- probably pissed - started having a go at me. This bloke in his 40s came to my rescue and 'ushered' the bloke to the back of the kop. My curiosity raised, I followed them and my saviour - and two others - proceeded to kick the shit out of him. Not big, not clever but some of these twats ask for it. Still see some of the originals at matches now - Mitchell, Lawrence etc.

It all changed around 1980. Until then, getting nicked at football got you - at worst - a £40 fine. Then they clamped down and West Ham's top boy - Bill Gardner - and his Chelsea opposite number, Terence Last, got ten years each.

A bit later Graf with timescales up to to around 84 you’d get a coppers palm delivered to your nose with great gusto & then booted out of Mariah about two miles down the road which was always more acceptable that a day in court & £50/ £100 fine .

Then around same time as miners strike Thatchers team upped fines to £300-400 which was a lot of fkg money then for any public order offences , any mention of football / pub / strike and the court through the kitchen sink at you !!
After it kicked off at at Euro 88 in Germany and Italy in 90 they started dishing prison sentences out .

The Acid House scene started around same time and a lot of lads moved away from football some into the dealing which in Sheff caused a lot of bollocks with the bouncers at certain sites , but would still be around for big games .
I still see a lot of lads knocking about from back in the day , but the majority are older if not wiser .

All valid and worthy of consideration.

Would you ever get away with a "Daisy Duke" type, these days, on at 5.30 on the BBC on a Saturday tea time?, in those shorts?

These days you get this sort of thing, on at prime time BBC tonight.....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09blcw9

BBC: Yes Sue, what can we do for you?

Sue Perkins: Wondered if you would be interested in my idea for a prime time show?

BBC: and what would that be Sue?

Sue Perkins: A wonderful personal journey to find the source of the Ganges, involving lots of travel, lovely scenery, warm weather, great food and nice drinks.

BBC: Ahh, now that sounds like the sort of thing people like, I would normally suggest Attenborough for this, but he is getting old and maybe not up for all the travel, so I assume you would like one of the nation's favourites, like Joanna Lumley or Nick "Monty" Montgomery?

Sue Perkins: Well, I think, to really get the audience ratings up, we need someone much more loved than that

BBC: Hmmm ok, who would that be?

Sue Perkins: Me

BBC: er...so, you want to make a series, where you go and travel up the Ganges, all expenses paid?

Sue Perkins: Yes that's correct

BBC: and.....who would be paying for this Sue?

Sue Perkins: Why, the license fee payers of course

BBC: Well, to be honest, I am not sure that......

Sue Perkins: (interrupting) and of course, with me hosting the show, this ticks all your "diversity" boxes, and makes the show "inclusive", doesn't it........

BBC: Er....very good point Sue, a lovely idea, let me get me sign off a load of license fee payers money for you
