Eye recon not, non here either listening to Wishbone Ash,enjoyng my morning. the next chapter will happen when it does.
I remember Johnny Crossan. He used to live at South Bents in Whitburn to the game . He used to drink in the now disappeared Bay Hotel which never checked whether you were old enough to be there for a drink.
Famous venue for bands, Steppenwolf, Family etc, check out Geof Dochertys,,,,` Confessions of a Promoter` also, a pal of mine demolished the Bay hotel, and used the materials to build on the old RoKoKo night club site, before that was a public lavatory, now known as Smugglers. Also as a youngan I used to fit his number plates to his freeby [ sponsored by Youngs of roker avenue ] car. A Ford Capri fastback, circa 1963, think the reg was WBR 500, OR WGR 500. Was a true gentleman then, and I dont see anything that would have changed that.
