Topic: Shanklyboy's and Fat Scousers ( Leo who's still alive ) auld arse thread

[shanklyboy]

Back to the picture..

Max Thompson, Frankie Lane, John McLaughlin?

Deffo not John McLaughlin Terry, and the Frankie Lane lookalike on the end by Jimmy is Bob Wardle.

Frankie Lane had a better muzzy and never had a haircut like a matadors hat.

[shanklyboy]

It's in the pocket of your camouflage kecks..

That tickled me that.

[tampared]

[rusty-la]

..his 'Lordship' is beaten by the tough?..

[rednose54]

i think he had the fish and chips after he ran, wasnt he a mechanic or something as well.

Pretty sure he was a welder.

[The Gulleysucker]

Pretty sure he was a welder.

Yep

With goggles....



Great site here

[Fat Scouser]

We used to call them plastic sandals Plassie Wassies. I hated the fuckers. But even worse was them pumps with the little bit of elastic instead of laces and shiny rubber toes... a guaranteed hiding at school.

I had a pair of them brown, two brown - toe cap and boot - nail in the foot, footy boots. They was me uncle Joe's. I had to stuff the toes with the Echo, and looked like McDonald in them...
Ronald McDonald.

Me aul fella came home bevvied one night. Well, he done that every night, but this night he was all chuffed. He got me in the kitchen and put this box down on the table. I opened it.... them fucking contraptions with the laces down the side. Me aul fella was chuffed to death with them. I had to pretend to be made up. They went right in the bin on the way to school. Divvy, I should have sold them. But I had a pair of Gola by then. I can't remember the name of them, but they was black, with laces down the middle and proper studs. Me mate Mick Murphy had give them to me cos he'd got a new pair. Couldn't be having the other pair... they had like purplie coloured piping on them and George Best... nah. Not for me. I hated him. Still do. Thought he was a knobhead who wasted his talent. Not that I knew that then, but I still ythink it to be honest.

[its cold in the stands]

The only others I can think of on that team pic are Bob Wardle (top left) and what looks like a young Max Thompson (front fae right),though the lads front row far left and 3rd on the right look very familiar.
I thought that was Liverpool Cricket Club on Aigburth Road but I could be wrong.

 

i think the fella infront of jimmy case holding the trophy is kevin kewley (or something like that), your right about the fella on the far left, his face does look familiar.
when i first looked at it i thought jimmy case was brian kettle!!
is the fella 3rd from the right hughey mccauley?
my memory is shite.

[Theoldkopite]

There yer go lads....ring any bells?
Did you stick the Echo down your socks for shinnies too?

I took your advice Shanklyboy and had a look at this thread. Now I'm depressed because I actually had a couple of pairs of boots with the cork studs in and my head's slightly misshapen through heading the lace part of a soggy casey too often. I knew I was old but hadn't realised how old!!

is the fella on the far left called webb? jimmy webb or john webb.....something like that

[Jimmy Case]

I remember begging me aul fella for a pair of the Heighway boots for Christmas. He knew they were shite and tried to convince me to get another pair of Addidas Santiago but I wanted the Heighway boots. Anyway, he got them for me and when I opened them on Chrizzy morning I was gutted. They were white plastic with moulded studs. Me aul fella was great about it and said just cut the studs off and use them in the street like trainers. Nearly fuckin killed meself after about 10 seconds, slipping around like a baby giraffe.

I can only get Bob Wardle, Jimmy Case, Fairclough. Brings back great memories seeing them together. I only ever saw them in the flesh, playing, or the echo.

[pooley]

I remember playing footie in the street. As soon as I got home from school, I would be out there until I was dragged in. if it went dark we would play by the street lights. I lived at the top of Breck Road and we had a great liitle pitch at one end of the street, their was a set of green double doors on one side of the street, and on the other side two pefectly spaced lamp posts, they were our goals.
If I Was on my own,  I would kick the ball against the wall, if a mate came we would have a'shootie', if there was three of us we would play'3 and in'. four of us could have a match. Sometimes we would play 'spot' for a change. If you had a 'Frido' ball you were the most popular kid in the street. I can remember knocking on  my mates door and saying 'is Alan coming out' his mam would say 'no' to which the reply would be  'can we lend his ball'. Happy days.

Remember the difference between, goalie in and out, or goalie on the spot.

Is that a question or a reminiscence?

[Fat Scouser]

In and out... the goalie could play in or out.
On the spot... furthest one back was the goalie.

I knew that but I was waiting for an answer to my question. Trust some smart arse to steal my thunder

Liar.

[Fat Scouser]

Arsing about aside, I used to love playing spot. Remember when you was getting beat... Full stop, coma, exclamation mark.

It didn't do much for me shooting, but I got an C in grammar. Which was good for me, but mind you, I was in the duffer's class.

[Theoldkopite]

Liar.

Can't stand these people who only post now and again.

.... or the variation, DONKEY

We also played 'Kerby' where you'd throw the ball to the kerb across the street, one point for a bounce-back, two points if you caught it.  But that evolved into a point for each 'keepy-uppy' before it hit the floor.  Usually game over with the first ball you got under control.

I know mate, sad bastard that I am I racked most of them up in a couple of days when we was talking about sweets and lolly ices.

Bragger.

[Vulmea]

Thats them mate, the black ones on the boards, those old laced balls were real heavy when wet too, would murder your swede if you had to head it, nearly knock you out.

me dad tells me he wore the first ever, brand new boots with screw ins when he played for his regiment over in Germany - experimental modern technology he said he couldn't be doing with it - that would have been early 50's - christ knows what he make of the slippers they wear nowadays

[the 92A]

Is that a question or a reminiscence?

I've just decided, it was a reminicise not a question. Too many smartarses on this thread. Spot only got into grammer when you were losing. I remember Kerbs and we used to play rally O, with half the street playing.

you must have been rich - we played no goalies

Rally O, is that the same as 'Al-alley-o?'  We used to play that all around the block, dozens playing.  That was a laugh, that game.

"Alaaaaaallliiiooooo' -

Caught yer, double twists no shakes

I'm sure we called that Alallio.

You're not Chinese are you?

[Fat Scouser]

Allalio, Allllllllaaaaalio.... The monkey's in the jam jar.

I'm still good at it.

[Jimmy Case]

I was fuckin brilliant at SPOT. I used to play SPOT against a lampost with half a mangy tennis ball - never missed, even round corners and over walls. And Krirby - you used to get one for a keepy upy with your foot, 5 on the knee and 10 on the head.

I'd beat any of yous. I could even play SPOT and you could play SPOTTY.,!?("

[Fat Scouser]

And British Bulldog...
You wanna see me knockin all the kids out when we play that in our street now.

[Fat Scouser]

Jimmy lad...
Spotty my (_!_)

[Jimmy Case]

I'm sure we called that Alallio.

You're not Chinese are you?

We all will be this time next week, Doctor.

Come on Riverpool! Up the Leds!

[Fat Scouser]

I couldn't wait to get that arse in. Me grandaughter showed me how to make them the other day, and I've been bidding me time.

Freakin' 'ell, give me 5 points for each knees-up and I'd take you to the cleaners, mate. Haha

[Jimmy Case]

If Kenny buys us next week, I hope he gets that chippy open again at the bottom of Venmore Street. It's fucked me an our Terry's ritual right up.

[Jimmy Case]

You'd have to ask Ducko if you could play. it was his ball.

Nah. The other fella's putting a solarium in for all Liverpudlains.
I can't wait, sitting here now in me cossie, waiting for the first home game.

[the 92A]

I'm sure we called that Alallio.

You're not Chinese are you?

Your right it was alallio, I never saw it written, and I was trying to think how to spell it and it came out as Rally O. Great game used to love it when your horses got the fox and we'd all shout Alallio

[RedBootsTommySmith]

Orange Kopites AOTS....

[Jimmy Case]

Ha! We're not back to the aul cozzies are we? I'll have to get me bird to get the knitting needles out. Just fancy a nice mohair number now I've got a bit of class.

[Dr. Beaker]

We'll fuckin tan that Arsenal when they turn up.
