Quoted from promotion plaice

I went to Beacon Hill/Matthew Humberston, I can remember a few skirmishes with Lindsey down Sandringham road at chuck out time.



I think that pretty much died out a couple of years after Matthew and Lindsey were set up. Mostly goes back to the days of the old North Clee mob who were merged with the Girls Grammar to form Lindsey. I lived round the corner from Matthew but went to Lindsey so had to pass everyone heading to MH every day and in seven years can count on one hand the number of times there were fights.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

What makes a hard man though ? Baseball bats , bottles etc are cowardice but was the norm in the 70’s and 80’s. In my opinion AJ and Tyson Fury etc are ‘hard’

For me a trench coat,  knuckle duster and being a bit 'naughty' encapsulates hardness.

People using weapons are cowards. It’s the normal person that protects his family, friends and himself from these idiots using his natural instincts  that are the people you should  be looking up to. Gangs are a bunch of people, other than normally the leader,  are a bunch of sheep trying to be hard.

In hindsight, it was all pretty pathetic, along with the Burberry and Stone Island nobbers that go to games nowadays.

Quoted from golfer
I was a member of The Bradley Boot boys -and although I went to Wintringham I was accepted into the group. Besides being a good footballer you had to frequent the Bradley Inn or have some other attributes. I did go into the Bradley a few times and knew  "Grizzly Grantham " and  "Donkey Davis " but I believe to this day that it was my good masculine looks and footballing skills that got me accepted.


Grizzly Grantham and Donkey Davis were two of ugliest women
whoever entered the Bradley Inn.
