At least the urban myth is finally killed off.Ha, sorry to disappoint but we’re not related.
What an absolute prick but it sounds very reminiscent of the petty, small time, chiselling corruption that Manchester councillors used to display and many still do to this very day.Helen used to sell flowers outside of Southern Cemetery. I recall a Tory Councillor - I think it was Richard Rodgers - trying to stop her alleging some breach of bye laws. It turns out he owned a florist shop in the Charlton area as well as representing Alexandra Ward on the City Council.
Wasn’t Jason on the bench for the Maine Road Massacre?An old schoolmate of mine won the Turner Prize, Chris Ofili. From Portland Road in Longsight. Year above me in St Robert’s, grew up on the next street to the Beckford brothers, Clitheroe Road.
Jason B was same year as me, went to Burnage. Had to try and mark him at a Manchester Boys trial and that was the end of that
He was indeed, came on for Lakey late onWasn’t Jason on the bench for the Maine Road Massacre?
Cheers, Longsight.He was indeed, came on for Lakey late on
Correct. Gary Megson the unused sub that dayHe was indeed, came on for Lakey late on
Went to Blackpool away in the FA Cup 1984 and was put on A Coach. Dreaded it. Had 3 cans of beer in back pockets and coat pocket..... sat near the back and had to bend down in the seats to drink them....At least the urban myth is finally killed off.
As I remember Helen was always ‘Coach A’ - “Right you lot at the back, no drinking and no swearing”. And she ruled with an iron fist
Coach B was Ian Cheeseman. He tried his best but he was like a supply teacher, nobody was scared and nobody paid any heed.
We all wanted Coach B
I think you'll find he was too busy writing South Pacific to be in anyway bothered about council matters!!!Helen used to sell flowers outside of Southern Cemetery. I recall a Tory Councillor - I think it was Richard Rodgers - trying to stop her alleging some breach of bye laws. It turns out he owned a florist shop in the Chorlton area as well as representing Alexandra Ward on the City Council.
Any evidence of this alleged corruption???What an absolute prick but it sounds very reminiscent of the petty, small time, chiselling corruption that Manchester councillors used to display and many still do to this very day.
