As you drive into GY on the a46 there is a faint reminder of years gone by . The words Bradley Boot Boys was sprayed on a wall ,must be 40 years ago and was removed a few years ago but you can still make it out . Does anyone have any info on who they were and if they were Town related ??

Probably a gang of young lads who hung about the streets together who either stole the 'boot boys' tag from the Grimsby firm as they were similarly a bit rough and rugged, or they attended matches as well.

My guess is the former. Maybe one or two went to matches as part of a firm but likely not all.

Pure guesswork mind 😅

Growing up in Laceby the gang of scallies hanging around in the square were the 'Laceby Boys' later 'LY Boys', Caistor 'The Caistor Crew' etc etc just a take on naming your group/gang/crew/posse.

Different gangs from Bradley end of Town (Nunny, Grange, Wybers even Willows) used to meet up with Laceby on the metal bridge behind Morrisons to kick ten bells of sh!t out of each other where the legends say they were all promptly dispatched 😅, Healing used to make forays over the fields too.

Heck even the Nunny Savages used to pull up in car loads and jump out with tools but with a little help from the old school tanks in the pub were swiftly sent back to their slums with tail between their legs 😅

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



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I was the only boy from Thrunscoe who passed the 11 plus that year and the only lad within half a mile of my house down Sandringham who went to Clee. Being chased daily for my Grammer snob cap certainly made me into a good runner and cyclist.
