Anyone remember the kid nicknamed "Suzi Quattro" in the south stand. He wore glasses and carried a bit of timber IIRC? Edit. When I say timber I mean he was chubby, not he carried a piece of wood to home games.[/QUOTE] Remember him around..think he got nicknamed that as he has patch on back of his denim jacket..yes he carried timber ..prob not in denim now
Just seen this thread....what a cracking read for a Saturday night., as for the punk think there was a few of us went , Kieth Ward, Darren, Ranus, Jobbo as well as thoose of us mentioned. Myself , Rat and Cunny still all go regulary, we never really got any bother at football back then apart from the away fans of course, maybe we were a bit better known ?
I assume the original post was referring to the early 80s, maybe 80 - 86 when indeed there was regular scuffles between the Avenues lads and Stanley Street.
Used to live just off First Lane .. Hessle side .. think the scraps between Hessle and Boothferry were a bit more then nuisance .. every time I went to First Lane shops I was on the look out .. attended Hessle high and our little feud with Sid Smith was more then nuisance value.. I also recall playing footy against Sid Smith in our senior year .. will have been 1978 were it seemed the whole of Sid Smith school turned out to 'welcome' us should I say .. police in attendance told us when the match finished they'd give us a five minute start to get the **** out of there before they were clearing off and leaving us to the mob .. lol .. oh those fun times
