Raised on stoneferry used to piss about on rockford field most my child hood or go on the derelict warehouses near the blue bridges remember been at primary school when the b and q burnt down and we all got sent home for the rest of the day due to toxic fumes or so they said!

Born at home on 21st ave,we moved to Isledane on Orchard park. So it Shaw park primary for the conkers and British bulldog. A great little school where nobody ever twagged. British bulldog was my downfall. I was very good at it,the lads from the rugby team told the coach and before i knew it,i was stood on a rugby pitch mid winter,not even knowing the rules. We went on to win the the league three years running,in a team where half the lads really wanted to play football.

Best memory is of the skateboard craze that swept the country.Flying down the underpaths until me and my gang started getting on the Lincoln castle and jumpimg on the train to the superb indoor skate park in Grimsby every week. We were so consumed with riding half pipes and doing aerials that we didn't have the time or the inclination for girls. Great days.

I remember something like that happening at Boulevard , i had to play cricket and rugby (both reintroduced after a few seasons ban because of schoolkids behaviour - we were all fooball mad and i dont remember anyone being interested in Rugby until the 3 kiwis took us training ) before i was allowed to play football , which i played for my year and the year above .

Cricket lasted one or two games due to a fight after the match . . . no matter the number of fights after football it never got banned !
 
Born on 21st avenue , went to green huts .... Fav teacher was Mr Silver

Moved to Orchard Park use to go to the disco in the church even though it was full of hippy types .. ( voodoo disco ? ) Ope reds sprayed all over the place .... Grrrr ... Scum ...

Then moved to the Quadrant lived there for 4 years .. Went to Leo Schultz and trinity house but spent my days in Monte Carlo Cafe rather then go to school , often sneaked into ABC during the day ..

Used to drink in Tonys , Star and Garter , White Horse , or any where else I could get served at 14.

Use to go in Scamps then Gothenburg coffee bar / drinking den till 6am.

Also went in Brickhouse a few times where some big black guy gave me my first acid tab when I was 13 ...

Went to most City games and loved sneaking on the away day special trains..

I remember hardly anyone on 21st ave had a car , though there was a few motorbikes .. People in council houses couldn't afford cars .

My mum lives off endyke lane still , my Sister lives on 21st avenue about 10 yards from where we all lived as kids ..

( My younger brother went to shaw park...)

Remember going to City in a White Butchers Coat ... What the F was all that about also wearing a Berry with my Harrington ... We copied that off Burnley fans ..

Fighting the dirty rockers / Hells angels at hull fair / attacking the Gondola Club , going in pick a dish and eating everything before getting to the Till

Fights between different youth clubs

Ee bye gum the kids today are a right set of boring Bastards....

After Shaw park i went to Sir Henry Cooper,me mam said it was a better school. They didn't play football either,and it was a shocking school. I was a talented player me,but fate works against you...

Bulldog was popular with kids at my primary school in the 90s and all. The same thing happened there, ie it got banned after someone got injured after playing it. Remember larking it and half the kids joined in. If that happened these days the teachers would be ****ting themselves. After that we all moved on to pretending to be wrestlers and started royal rumbles (as was popular at the time) on the concrete, since half the year the grass was out of bounds.

I also went to cub scouts in Leven when i was younger. They used the hut at the end of the football playing fields. That's surely not the one you're thinking of? If it was burnt down.

I used to live at 120 21st Ave (Nr 19th), was this near you ?

My Uncle used to own Cavalier Club on Endyke Lane (and Concord on Orchard Park, and the Phenix near Hessle Rd). Most of my family get togethers where in those Clubs.
 
My Dad was in the Greenwood pub on the day it opened and died the day it closed in September (it has now re-opened). He was well known in the Cavalier.
 
Born and bred in Beverley til we moved out to the pissing sticks, Watton and Scoborough inbetween Bev and Driffield, consequently never really played any games or did anything outside of school as there were **** all other kids around, just kicked a ball around on my own.....which is why i'm a ball greedy ****er when I play football.....never lived in Hull but went to school there

Sorry about your Dad Mel.
My Auntie (who, sadly passed away a couple of yrs ago, had the Florists (named after herself) next to Greenwood Pub. If your Dad was well known in Cavalier, he will of known my Grandma. She used to clean the Club in the morning, was the Barmaid in the afternoon, and then made the food for the dart, snooker, pigeon, pool teams.
My Grandad also worked in the Bookies next to the Club. (which was owned by my uncle). Even my Dad had a shop on Endyke Lane,Spring Bank, and another on Orchard Park.
My brother and I lived with our Grandparents when our parents split up. They were fantastic people, who we all really miss.
It used to be a hive of activity on Endyke, before the big supermarkets opened.
Great times.
It's a small world.
 
My uncle ronnie and shirley use to go in endyke club ... Had something to do with the committee I think..

I lived next to the dam church on 21st and got sent to bloody Sunday school though I would go in one entrance and sneak out the other and spend my collection money in beer off on endyke..

Like Mel I left hull and haven't lived there since I was about 17 and a half .
 
Other than 4 years living on Hessle High Road (Pickering Primary then Bethune) - never lived in Hull. Mostly always West Hull villages.

I personally knew your Uncle and Auntie (and your cousins ), and yes, Ron was on the Committee (don't know about Shirley), along with Audrey Hunter (lived near Rent Office). Your cousin was a good footballer,in his day, and i think last time i spoke to him ( a while ago now, when our Roy (who first took me to City) owned Cavalier),
he had a Fishing Tackle shop.
Do you remember Freddie Briggs, and his Pet Shop?,on Endyke, he used to ride a three wheeler.

sorry for waffling on....
