    On the bottom of a post there is a place where we often have some quotation or slogan.

    On mine it's Cloughie's one liner.

    I remember a quote with something about " men drown in the willow pond Charlie Hurley" and was wondering where it came from. Was it the book by Melvyn Lingard (or something like that)

    If anybody knows about this quote or if the person who uses it is still here, can you tell me more about it.

    Ta.

    Willa Pond was a good lad, dunno what happened to him.
    He used to go by Men Drown In The Willa Pond.

    The Willow Pond is a pub on Hylton Road.

    Thanks for the response lads but I still don't know where the quotation he used came from, if it is a quotation.

    I know the Willow Pond in Hylton road and that julio plays for them.

    It was the Charlie Hurley reference that interests me.

    Men drown in the willlow pond was a good poster on here. He enrolled with Sundermad two or three years ago, but doesn't seem ever to have posted on it. I think he lived in Geneva or somewhere in Central Europe. Have no idea where the quotation came from and I don't remember Hurley being involved at all.

    This was mine, for a spell my name of here was Charlie Hurley. The quotation was...

    "You're a bad man Charlie Hurley," Men Drown in the Willow Pond.

    I remember years ago living in Millfield and we used to call it " a day out in the country"
    Willow Pond, Mountain Daisy then the Free Gardeners, then down the town, great pubs and great times.

    Then you're the one I meant.

    Where does the quote come from or where does the Willow pond refer to?

    Is it anything to do with the book I mention at the start of this thread?

    It's just that it has me intrigued mate.

    Afraid not mate. It was just the poster, Men Drown in the Willow Pond, calling me a twat!

    Must be well over a year ago that mind.

    Another bye-line from Cloughie was about some criticism Hurley once got after a poor game he had, Cloughie wrote that it was a sign of how great Hurley was when the point was made that he was below standard.
