milted Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Can anybody remember the Fighting **** on Monteney Crescent, Parson Cross being built. What year do we think it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Womersle Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think it was 1962/3. It was at the time The Sportsman Inn on High Street, Ecclesfield closed. At the time the story was that the license was transferred from The Sportsman to the Fighting ****. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right Nigel, I used to drink in there around 1968 Mansfield Ales pub as I remember had a mate lived near there - Barry Butler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemansam Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 what about the Fighting **** football team. Formed around 1970 I'd guess Dom Wragg, Brian Marsden, Jack Palmer, Charlie Dale Alan Brammah. remember Sam Heywood had something to do with running the team. Was it Derek who was landlord in those days? I remember Barry Butlers name, where did he live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbuck Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 When I was going out with my girlfriend who lived on "Rokeby Drive" we used to go to the "Fighting ****" at least twice a week, this was about 1964....I remember a "Trio".. Some Bloke on Drums, Old Guy on piano, and a young lad on Bass Guitar, who played there...I can't remember what the Beer was but it must have been ok co's I never complained.
