Hull Brunswick were one of the top amateur teams in the early 60's in Hull. Gerry Ingram played for them, City wouldnt sign him cos he was seen as a bit of a boozer (they were right). Then Blackpool came in for him.
It was indeed. Both were long thin single bars. All the hacks from the HDM (when it was based on Jameson Street) used to be in those two pubs around 4.30-5.00pm. In those days of course, it was limited opening hours, and so it was via the 'back door' for those in the know!
