Holderness road, I have fond memories of getting drunk on cheap cider in east park & trying to pull any of the easy girls!! Happy days...
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! Playing headers and vollys on the norweb/pets at home carpark was always fun god i miss my childhood and Hull haha
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...
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....
Born and lived De La Pole Ave, moved to Spring bank West (literally up the street). I went to Paisley, Wold then Riley. Remember Mrs Pearson, Hudson, Whitely from Paisley? Or Mr Davis, Bryant and Edwards from Riley?
It's not where you're brought up but how you're brought up. You were obviously raised by a right pair of bell ends. That's the only explanation I can think of.
