Not sure if anyone has mentioned the Compleat Angler near West Bar yet.

Mucky Duck.

The first ever Clash gig was there, supporting the Pistols. Sadly I was too young for that but it's a classic 'I was there' event.
Probably about 50k reckon they were there including 13,679 who weren't even born, 27,891 who've never been to Sheffield and another 8k lying hounds.

Everyday is a school day!! Great bit of trivia that.

I found it mildly amusing that it was called ‘mucky duck’. Wasn’t it the ‘black swan’? Hence the nickname?

There’s one on Benidorm called ‘black chicken’ Or ‘loppy cock’ as I call it.

I need to grow up.
 
Class photo that. What a manoeuvre that was to take their main pub at the time. Pigs outside wondering how did they manage that ?


Especially when they turn out10000 at Hillsborough Corner to welcome Blades.

So 48000 Pigs then?
 
Which Bladey Blade pubs (I know, I know, that covers most all of the city centre!) did you drink in that are no longer here? Any Memories?

Matilda Tavern (Matilda Street, obviously) - no idea why I put this first as I only went in a couple of times (both times before games). I got the feeling it was an old man's pub, back in the days when I wasn't one :confused:

The Pump, back of the Moor - I really liked The Pump, real shitty deal knocking it down for the refurbishment of the moor and then never building the replacement building(s)! Used to pop in during the day and read the paper when other half was shopping, visited loads of times before games, remember watching England v Argentina (when Beckham got sent off) on big (projected?) screens in here, also used to be a nice drop off before diving in the Zing Vaa. Couple of pool tables in the far bit IIRC? It was always busy when I went in (no matter the time of day), like I said; shame.

Tramway, London Road - lets just say, the picture above could be considered "post-refurbishment!".:D I walked past here to get to the Lane/home (depending on direction, heading up to Nether Edge), popped in a few times the worse for wear, bit of a dump, frequently a warzone, and completely dead when there wasn't a game on. Not surprised it shut.

Any more??? (I can think of a few but will leave some for others to post).
Bridge Inn, Heeley Bridge, 15 min walk to match after sinking copious amounts before game, soon sobered up for those winter matches
 
Gambit was in the (New) Avengers but I don’t remember an Indian restaurant by that name tbh? Not saying there wasn’t, but it doesn’t ring a bell with me.

I went to the Indus once. It was enough! (Nothing wrong really, but it was basic fare compared to some). My favourites back then were probably Shujon on West street and the rather excellent Mogal Rooms, in Dore. (Which was called “The Dore Grill” up until recently. Now it’s “Joe and Delores” apparently. It’s far from Eastern exotic spicy food. It’s for old folk who like their meat well done and veg with the life boiled out of them).
The Shujon was brilliant as was the manzil on ecclesall road - possibly the first Indian restaurant in Sheffield
 
heh i was at that Sham gig. i had to sit upstairs cos i had a broken arm in plaster. there was fighting all the way through the gig between skins and punks .. Pursey got fed up with it and got a punk and a skin onstage to sing 'kids united'.. which all went rather well.. until they played the next number and they all started fighting again :D i remember the Damned being pretty good and the Banshees being utterly shite (fell asleep at the back)
Saw the banshees supporting the stranglers at improvision. They were awful
 

The Hofbrauhaus was always full of Unitedites on a Saturday when they had strippers on, entry 5p.....apparently :)
 
The Barrel London Road Blades pub They had a batman who wore long sleeved shirts, even in the hottest weather

The secret was that he had an owl tattoo on his arm nashe was a good pint puller so his secret was safe with me
Holy pig!

I vaguely remember that although a friend of mine said the Dog and Patridge down Attercliffe was more “ interactive”. ;)
 
The logic of that is lost on me Si.

Oh Scotty, you are a rogue!

We both posted exactly the same batman image above. It was a crap response to an innocent spelling mistake, but shows we think alike. Daddy will be so proud!

You mentioned something yesterday about an Uncle at Whitbreads, so either your memory is worse than mine or you were making it up and have forgotten.

Have you been sniffing the toilet duck again?

Nah, just the usual toilet seats.

You're adopted, I've told you for years.

Yes, he was a chargehand.

This "Uncle"? Was he a relative or did he just bathe you now and again?
 
I’ve had the old strippers tit in the mouth, Sunday lunchtime in the Hermitage. Pissed, Young, wild and free........ of crabs back then.

Can’t say I’ve ever suckled on a strippers tit tbh but I did once accompany “said friend” to the Dog and Partridge one Saturday lunchtime.

This stripper on stage had a “toy”. She insisted on inserting it to the hilt then firing it out into the audience. I’d never seen owt like that before!:eek: It was like she was Stingray and we were mechanical fish or summat!

This bloody thing kept flying out of her chasm and bouncing across the wooden floor like a Barnes Wallace bomb. Then some poor hap would have to go under his seat and pick it up to give it back to her, and off we’d go again!

Why someone didn’t say to her: “ if it comes over ere ageean tha not avin it back” I really don’t know?

Erotic?

Not at all. She was a bloody nuisance with it that’s all!

Attercliffes answer to sticky Vicky.

A big pig (figuratively and physically). My dad's whole family are of the porcine persuasion but my dad was an awkward bugger and saw the light.

Are you thinking Uncle Ernie (Keith Moon)? To be honest if my kid was a wanky brat like Roger Daltrey I'd do the same. 'Fiddling about' and all that......

Same with my Dads family. All pigs apart from him.

Daltrey wants a kicking now, although not as much as Townsend.

A stripper once bit my bollock (through the trousers) in The Plumpers (now American Golf) and left a nice lipstick mark down there for me to explain away...
