Normal ex-RN guy often perplexed by things going on around him - why do they do this - why is she such a twat? Loves all things Dylan, Springsteen & Scunny FC.

@GBbooze Know the pub very well & had many memorable times in there over the years. Still going & still a popular pub - well recommended

[Colin Popplewell @ColinPops]

@crockpics Yes I did - I was there for the 2nd show & they were absolutely incredible. Memorable encounter with my wife-to-be behind a nearby tree too. Great day.

@bagshaw2112 I think 1979 purely based on Kenny Everett

@cutelipssx Love it - great story.

[Colin Popplewell @ColinPops]

@annavanpraagh From living down there in the 1980s I know of the estate- I also know the pub too (incidentally a great pub too). And human life always makes for a great true story.

@crockpics I was there - great gig including The Specials too.
Charlie��s drumming at the end of YCAGWYW takes some beating.

@Theleaguemag Watched him play away at Hull on Boxing Day 1983/84 - he played well too

@Lorrain06924262 @GBbooze So I hear - hope the Cap Tally is still there though.

@SUFCOfficial This is beyond a joke now - everything from top to bottom needs to change. NOW

@bagshaw2112 1971 - great chart for a 12yo & I bought so many of this chart

Did you know nearly half of British Steel’s UK spend is with businesses in the 20% most deprived local authorities in England?

@StonesNews @RollingStones With an unknown band to me starting (Van Halen - very Led Zeppelin in the day) & The Doobie Brothers supporting with the most I’ve ever seen on stage together - great night!!
I do remember Jagger climbing up a ladder - very brave!!

[Colin Popplewell @ColinPops]

@StonesNews @RollingStones And I was there for that NO show - recall that it was announced a world record for an indoor event on the scoreboard at the time. I was in the RN at the time & it was a 12 hour drive from Jacksonville Florida.

@CcibChris @Bronzie1_uk 1978 - the Phantoms had our final deployment badge on their nose.
It also looks like an enhanced photo too.

@GBbooze Must admit they’ve a great job restoring the frontage - always good in the past but very striking nowadays.

[Colin Popplewell @ColinPops]

@GBbooze My local for many years

[Colin Popplewell @ColinPops]

@GBbooze Became a Wetherspoons after my time & the original Star closed before my time. I did though use the Nelsons Bar nearby a lot though

[Colin Popplewell @ColinPops]

@GBbooze Used to occasionally use this pub on the way home back in the day
