Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Paisley Blade]

I think between me & Paisley Blade might have narrowed down on the name - either the New Bengal or New Bombay.
I remember a lad I played football with going from top to bottom of those stairs & just got up & carried on like nowt had happened!
I’ve never got the lassi thing but each to their own & can only imagine the stick you got.

sitwell New Bombay has just clanged a big bell in my coconut (tm CW)

Behave yourself. I grew up wearing goalkeeper’s jerseys like that, knitted by my mother. And I had 2 front teeth like those, until they were knocked out by a cricket ball. I was fielding first slip. Bowler still complains I dropped a dolly; in my view, I stopped a certain 4...

Bombay ,Im convinced.

It was the Bombay. Mr Khan owned it. If it wasn't too late and the light was on in his flat above you could get him to open up again. Menu was "brown shit or red shit?" Popular with taxi drivers, decent food.

New Bengal was on West Street near the Shujon. Both open well before Bombay though.

The one on the left is clearly Scougall. Presumably the number 5 is a centre back signed by Nigel Clough......

There was one just off West St just up one of those roads towards jessops or the red deer. We had big trouble in there one night they all came out of the kitchen with knives ended up with the coppers chasing us through Broomhall flats.would that be new bengal

Not an old picture, but from the cafe near me where Sander-B chats up the girls serving coffee, I'd never noticed this on the back of one of the benches they put out in the morning...

The New Bengal was on West Street. There was a place on one of the roads leading up there, changed hands a lot.

Can you remember the one at the bottom of division Street, on the left going up? In there one night and Lenny Brown walked in alone, suited and booted. Straight into the kitchen and you could hear all hell breaking loose. Next minute he's driven out of the kitchen by about six (small) staff wielding pans and saucepans. He kept knocking them down and they kept getting up. They eventually backed him up to the door. He brushed himself down and said he'd be back. Never bothered going again just in case.

The last time l saw him he looked really well and was singing in pubs and clubs. Quite good as well.

Soxs are wrong, shirt badge wrong shape and to be really pedantic never played with that ball, don't you know old bean. Where did you find this SB?
Mind, to see any recognition (other than local) of the Blades was good in those days and it is good artistically despite I'm sure Eddie and Flynn were taller.

Graffiti in the 70s was built to last. None of this poncy spraypaint shite they have today.

I think the New Bombay was on Westfield Terrace up from the Prince of Wales, or Frog and Parrot to some.

It's strange how cartoons taking the piss about Wednesday stay in the mind. This is from 1976.

This photo seems prime for a caption competition. I am assuming, apart from TT the other figure is TC Mk. XXII.
As a starter, "Your initials may be TC but that don't make YOU a footballer. Fire away.

You had a knitted goalie jumper, spare a thought for me, l had knitted swimming trunks. My mam would every year knit 3 pairs of trunks for me,my brother and dad. Boy did they hold some water, but they made you learn to swim. Telling someone this story lately and did not believe me so Googled it and the patterns are still available. Bet they don’t sell many.

I now have an image of ‘Tuppers shorts’ that I can’t get out of my mind... Presumably on some beaches they would also fill with shingle and pebbles!
