Just wondering how many of you guys remember the Elite snooker club and the old boy behind the counter. I think his name was Roland. Only had 1 eye. Nice old boy until he got upset then he used to chase you round the tables. I used to knock about with Bob Burnside and Jez Moores.
Jez,s dad used to keep the Australian pub. Frannie Franks used to meet us up there for a game. Before he was in the Dappers. We would then go to the Bridge or the Abbey for a couple of beers then go to the Con club or the Arcs. Mabey have a pint with Jimmy Fielding or Billy Baron, Pat Varley and then go and Watch Willie Hart dance the night away. Those of us who couldnt dance would just walk round and round for hours in the Con, inbetween visiting the bar for a few Gills of mild.
I left Accy in 1969 but still have great memories of the times in Accy and the friends I had. Wonder whats happened to them all now.
