I had a relative who lived in the Spring Bank area. He came from a family who owned a big manufacturing company in Hull making copper and steel cylinders. But he was the black sheep of the family and went to sea instead. He was on the Atlantic Convoys in WW2. He told me some cracking stories about old Hull. He was a big fella too, and once involved in a bare knuckle boxing match on West Park one Sunday morning and over 1,000 people turned up for it. He was also held in a prison in Africa on a trumped up murder charge when a ship he was on docked there. It took a diplomat to fly out from London to get him released. Also he was invovled in a dominos match in Polar Bear and he picked a cheat up and threw him through one of the windows onto the street. Despite coming from a very wealthy Hull family and traveling around the world seven times as a seaman, he finished up as a labourer at Ideal Standard and died in a council house off Park Street.

This probably shouldn’t be in the transfer thread so mods please move it if it offends, but today I took my dog for his walk and we usually have a stroll around Hedon cemetery as it beautifully kept and very peaceful, I usually read the names on the headstones and one of them today prompted me to do a bit of research. It was for a Clifford Matson who lost his life at the young age of 22 in 1914 when his ship came under fire from the German navy, these are a few bits that I discovered…I literally detest the vast majority of politicians!

Maybe it is the same for others as me but when i look at this photo and the faces it seems really strange that i think i have seen some of them before because other people i have met have similar features.

Liam Rosenior sat with Darren Moore at Pride Park tonight in the Directors Box.

Probably having a good chuckle about Saturday and watching Max Bird…
