    Just been googling Gray and I think it's the Mount Pleasant on Derbyshire Lane, that's because it looks like the location I remember

    Yes Blocky was right TT. A cosy little pub, packed to the rafters with 20 clientele inside as I recall.

    How could I not see it, although in fairness he looks younger now than he did 30 years ago.

    Can remember playing in Graves Park in the local leagues,one pitch sloped that bad it was like playing on the side of Everest,and the showers,you had to pull a chain to make the water flow and keep it pulled,so it was quite a job to clean yourself

    Thanks for the Mount Pleasant steer.

    Played an U13 game for City GS v Firth Park GS at FirthPark and the pitch somehow sloped downhill BOTH ways from the halfway line. I was a goalie and could not see one goal from the other whichever way we kicked!

    Happy days
