Cheers sparrow. Sky + and will deffo have a butchers. Ta.

Rita tush still going strong.

Rita was my all time favourite

Film didn't pull any punches did it sparrow ?
Don't think it was too far from the truth
The restaurant at catford and the knob in it
Such a class ridden society in the UK
Still exists today .....except for Doncaster by the sounds of it !

Catford .......it was Clapton Stadium home of 5 derby winners in the 1960s.

1972 Patricias Hope Adam Jackson (Clapton) 7/1 28.55
1966 Faithful Hope Paddy Keane (Clapton) 8/1 28.52
1965 Chittering Clapton Adam Jackson (Clapton) 5/2 28.82
1963 Lucky Boy Boy Johnny Bassett (Clapton) 1/1F 29
1961 Palms Printer Paddy McEvoy (Clapton) 2/1 28.84
1956 Dunmore King Paddy McEvoy (Clapton) 7/2 29.22

woody had the treble in 1966.....faithful hope for the derby......england for the world cup and Doug Sanders for the open golf.........Jack Nicklaus busted the bet and he has never been the same since.....

Sorry sparrow .....never went there and thought the tote board was the catford one

I should think so too irish. I even mentioned Clapton in my opening post.

Was there a football pitch in the middle of that track sparrow ?
Was that where clapton played ?

I think you asked me once before irish but yes Clapton Orient played there before moving to Lea Bridge Stadium in 1930 and then on to Leyton in 1937.

I thought Johnny Bassett also trained Yellow Printer.

Bassett did train Yellow Pinter who won the Irish Derby but was later transferred to be trained by Paddy Milligan.
