Fights in school

Ashton Grammar vs Stamford School at the side entrance to AGS. Lasted about 5 minutes, which can be an eternity in a fight.

Back then (70s) fight was over when someone got knocked down by a punch. Today, that seems to elicit a kicking and stomping, which back in the day would have been considered chickenshit.

There was always a lot of baiting going on with some chunky bloke (Graham/Gordon?) who was 'special' a few times too.

Seemed to be 100's of us hanging about at certain times and he'd come just inside the gates and growl while some of our lot shouted at him....it was all a bit zzzz to be honest.

I got twatted off oa girl when I was about 10. My mate had an older sister, maybe about 12-13, and she was saying she could fight and I was laughing and saying that no way could she beat me. She knoocked me around their kitchen. Totally leathered me. Taught me a lesson.

Some people pay for that sort of thing these days ;)
 
In a school with 90% rags and dippers, there were only about 6 City fans in our year and 3 of them were in the “hardest in the year” category so no one ever went near me as blues stick together! Fortunate, as I’m sure I would have been crap at fighting!
 
Just had a memory of when in 5th year , the 2 cocks of 4th year had a fight for who was top cock.
We used to have gravel pitches , called the ‘grar’ , ive not spelt that right i know

The grar was slightly out of view of the main school so loads went on there

These two lads are knocking shite out of each other, and i look round and our PE teacher , mr wild, was watching it.
Was waiting for him to split it up but he just said, “great fight” and walked off

I knew a haggis, woodslane cheadle hulme. He was cock of the school too

I lived in cheadle hulme and within close
Proximity there was moseley, kingsway, woodslane and st james.
There was always a hierarchy and it was cock of years, and cock of school.
As most knew people from each of the other schools there would also be inter schools fights to determine hardest school and fights between cocks of schools to determine cock of the area.
Mental really

Incidently, the cock of woodslane was at one point a girl called silvine. Her brother , paul bailey (bails) was the hardest lad ive ever seen and at 15 looked like a man.

Paul Bailey hard lad but alright. Went to America for ‘football’ trials didn't he? Heard he died though? Silvine scared everyone and grew up having to fight lots of little knobheads. A couple of my friends got thrown around by her.

I remember going in a mob into Woods Lane school grounds at dinner time thinking we were nails as the school ran off screaming (mostly kids and girls). There was quite a bit of tit for tat at the time between us (Jimmy’s) and Woods Lane I remember. Around 87/88.
 
We played the boot game. Tennis courts and a tennis ball. Two exit gates into the court.

Kick the tennis ball around amongst youselves (probably 100 kids) and have the cojones to kick it fucking hard and high without it leaving the court.

If it did go over the wire fence then everyone laid the boot in to you until you got out. 10-16 hole Doc Martens all the rage at the time.

Some proper kickings were had, but I remember the truly hardest kid just picking up the ball, kicking it out of the court, and daring anyone to go near him.

I think the boot game got banned eventually.

Bit mad that it took Lisandro Martinez to break it up.

Jeez. This is an old thread.

More like Mother Teresa wading in to be honest.

It is, looking back, quite funny, how a little old lady, seeeing a large group of boys from the nearby school racking up in numbers on the local park to see the fight of the century, thought 'I'm not having this' and barged her way through, telling us to stop it and go home, which we did!

I think he went for american football trials? They lived near willow ave i think which backed on to my school (the manor).

Yeah i would guess silvine had it tough growing up so needed to be tough.

I lived near cheadle hulme precinct , where as most of the manor were more cheadle way. As i got to 15/16 (89-90) i could barely walk into cheadle hulme centre for fear of bumping into woodslane or jimmys.

Didnt help my uncle was a teacher at jimmys
 
My old school Avondale had some right tasty lads when I went 90/95.
One lad in particular who was the cock of the school in year 8 after giving the previous hardest a right hiding on the all weather pitch.

Must have been soft as fuck as a school if the cock was in 2nd year mate?

Wild by name, wild by nature.
 
Trust me he was a very handy lad,looked like a grown man at 13/14. Even the parents knew the score.
I don't know if you're familiar with Stockport but Avondale didn't have any other schools near it,so all the kids were from the rough estates,asdwood,brigdehall, Cheadle heath,edgeley.
He stood out.
