I grew up round that end, it certainly wasn’t Victoria Park!My old landlord described Hamilton Road as Victoria Park. You were on the Stockport Road within five minutes of leaving the house. He's a millionaire now.

We were absolute outcasts. Everybody in the area hated us. Aside from good kebabs on the Stockport Road and the handy 192 bus route, there was little affection for Longsight from me.

The bloke with the army jacket used to sell lottery tickets when everyone was queueing for hours on end for match tickets. Never knew his name but always smiling and used to cheer everyone up.

I sold City Lottery Tickets in the mid-70s. They gave me a leather wallet for hitting a sales target. Still got it.
