WhistleHappy Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 OK skip the first four and a half mins of this un and we get to some good old football related skills from the Good Old Days... Followed closely by some good old fashioned Wayne King (honest, I kid u not ) no idea what comes after the Wayne King bit, some if you will probably fall asleep before it finishes. I'll watch the footballing bit, then perhaps a little Wayne King before fast forwarding in the time honoured tradition of hoping to find the next good bit on the video.. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4xuGfftjbf4 *psst, 22mins in more Wayne King for some ?

havanatopia Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Do you remember Subbuteo Rugby ? Yup we had that... And the Cricket version. I only found out about 5 years ago, at a family Christmas that one of my bro's, who gave me Man City Subuteo team as a present pinched it in Woolies... Absolutely disgraceful... And i cannot even take the box back now as they are bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Bill Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wimbledon FC. The Crazy Gang. They still are crazy - the fans anyway. My mate is a womble fan and I once went to a match at Millwall with him. The wombles were chanting "your just a bunch of pikies". I'm not sure how we got out alive.

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Double Diamond, Hoftmeister and to show I am not an alcoholic, Spangles. And does white dog poo count? Woolworths used to sell Spangles every Christmas, sadly that's another High Street name gone. Also Bourneville dark chocolate, I used to love it.

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 There was a barbers just up from the roundhouse on North Street that used to sell old copies of Club International, penthouse etc, with the covers cut off. He would sell them to us kids for 10 or 20p. As I remember we used to ask for the "contents" magazines, because thats what we used to see as the front cover. I would imagine that would get him a few years inside these days! What about Jubbly's? They were a strange pyramid shaped frozen orange drink. We used to buy them in "Grahams" or Smith and Hopewells as it was actually called. Jubbl'ys were great so were Jamboree bags, I think they were 3d and had lot's of differents sweets in them. Also fruit salads and Black jacks, 4 for a penny. It;s no wonder i have dentures now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 There is a Stan Butt in East Street but not sure if it's the same one - probably the same family. And there is still a D.R Butt (or is that Doctor Butt?) on North St... There was a Doctor by us called Doctor Death! I don't think he kept many patients, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
