Yeah, it had a good run for a while. I played in the same team as Roger Palmer and Johnny Hart's youngest son Nigel who (through sheer determination) carved himself out a career in the lower leagues with Stockport, Lincoln and Chesterfield amongst others I think.I went to Wilbraham and was a year or two younger than Eric, Clive and Eugene Wilson and of course Alex, but played with them a few times if they were a player short on the odd occasion and the games teacher needed to make up the 11 with someone from a year or two below. The school was a good supplier of talent for the blues in that era !
I think her surname was Leaning, her daughter was called Debbie.Great pub, got a bit rough near the end. Which landlord the place had loads lol.

Ha ha, no I went to the high school in Chorlton, which definitely was not posh !Used to love scoring hat-tricks against Wilbraham for Claremont Road.
Wilbraham was the posh Fallowfield school as far as us from Moss Side were concerned!
i for one would imagine i speak for all of us bluemmoners we value your brief but warranted message, good day to you sir.Just wanted to pop in to say John Aldridge is a ****.
Have a good day everyone.
That's a relief. I thought I must be pissed because I didn't understand a word of it.
I bet l wasn't the only one watching that clip and cheering when the pen was saved even though it was umpteen years ago.Great tackle and never a penalty! Just look at his guilty reaction. At least justice was done and the underdogs won the day.
Should never have been a pen, but didnt stop the commentator announcing with some certainty "and thats a penalty" before backtracking to agree with Ian St John.And it wasn't a pen. Defender played the ball and Aldridge fell over him.
My brother may remember some of them, he was more of a regular in there than I was.I saw loads come and go. Russ, Alan, and about three others at least. Barry Catell and Steve Mellor on the door, David James the DJ.
