    Pretty sure there was a Sunday League pub team sponsored by the Tanfield. When they were, inevitably, kicked out of the league they just moved along Gt. Northern to the next bar (Bob Lawarence's?) and gave the owner a 'sponsor us or we'll tan yer pub' ultimatum. Played against one of their incarnations and were 2:0 at half time - ended up losing 7:2 because they kicked the sh1te out of us. The referee was advised 'we ken far you bide ana'

    The Snug bar near Aberdeen docks .

    The smallest pub I've ever been in 3 or 4 bar stools and maybe 3 small tables not any bigger than a living room in Northfield

    Loved the bar I was 15 being served a vodka n orange that was the drink of the day.
    Remember that .

    You remember that drink too through the years we reverted to drinking fancy drinks like fine wines instead of four crown .

    Oil has a lot to answer for .

    Aye the Sunday welfare league was a dangerous way to spend Sunday afternoon. Many of the teams would warm up in the Dee Motel and by K.O. most were bleezin. Pitch battle V appropriate !

    Smart Alex, the first night club we used to go to when we where 15/16. I had a fake trainee HGV license😆£1.20 for 2x becks or 2x vods. What a nick we’d end up in. Start the evening in the Marshall Bar drinking bottles of Newcastle Broon for some reason. Good times.

    Becks and Newcastle Brown. My drinks of choice as a young scamp about town! The Newcie Brown used to give some me some terrible hangovers though! There were so many good pubs then. I usually frequented Crown St/Windmill Brae area and our nights would always end up at Clarkies at one point. Usually took in Tatlers too. Two other legendary venues no longer with us. Ah, they were the days
