Barnstoneworth White

My grandad was mates with his father in law, Jack, who had a barber's shop in Farnworth. When I had my haircut there, Jack always let me try on Bally's England caps.

Oh ffs

What a goal

Was the tour organised by Hayward School? if so, I was on it. The match with George Best was at San Jose Earthquakes, got to meet him on the pitch, he smelt of ale. The picnics were ace btw, more of a bbq than anything else, even had butter on their hotdog rolls.

One thing’s for sure, you’re not taking us up Canal Street again

When this whole shitshow is a distant memory I can't wait to show our bunch of reprobates the delights of the NQ alehouses

Thank you very much kind sir, I'll ask the Mrs and daughter as it was them that did it.

Thanks for raising it Mr C, I"ll even let the reference to my double crown slide by 😉 They're well on the way to £250 now.

I had this bewdy cos Frankie played for them

41 years ago? Christ indeed. I was on th' Embankment myself.

Was lucky enough to tour South Africa a couple of years ago, a fantastic place. Wouldn't hurry going back to Albania or Bulgaria tbh.

Tbf that's better than the shite that's on these days

Think you might be right there. As an aside I got my picture in the Sunday Mirror sat on the advertising hoardings of the Manny Rd North at that game.
