Before that, I think he worked as a bathroom salesman for a while. Always been and will be my hero. Cheesley certainly ran the Knowle for quite a time but no other pub in Knowle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted December 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 The one thing I remember about Keith Fear is that he could have done with an extra 6 inches. Wasn't a very tall bloke, but quite a player for his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one time we had scaffolding outside our front door making it hard to reach the letterbox, so we tried to intercept him as he came up the path to make it easier. By the time we saw him through the front window and ran out the back door to the path, he had somehow clambered through the scaffolding (it was very tight) and was off to the next house. True commitment. As he blasted your post into the top corner of your letter box . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 One for the older generation, Jantzen Derrick sold my father in law a car when he worked at the garage on the corner near Temple Meads.

BTRFTG Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Like early doors youth stats it's possible Big Cheese's first landlord appearance was a very short academy tenure at the long defunct 'Withywood'. If memory serves he lasted but a few weeks and left a nervous wreck post an incident that involved a firearm and a hole in the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goal at Eastville was a cracker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that Fear could end up playing for England or Bath City, it was all down to his attitude. Unfortunately we all know which way it went.

Ron Niffty Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Does anyone know how Chris Garland is? He was always one of my favourite players. Always remember that goal against Liverpool at the Gate the first season back in the old first division. I believe he was diagnosed with Parkinson's.
