For the first time since the old man's funeral last November. He was in Primrose Croft care home. All the staff there are magnificent!
Felt a supreme feeling of being back home again.
Managed to get to, allowing for c19, the Cambridge Blue, Geldart, Alex and Calverly's new taproom.
Pubs, He loved pubs. The Earl of Derby 1970's-1980's was his local.
Absolutely wonderful to meet up with family once again who are still in Cambridge.
Painful to be in Cambridge and not be able to stand on the Habbin where the old bugger first took my brother and I to our first match. Around '71-'72. Barrow.
Future trips to Cambridge just won't be the same again.
CUFC FOREVER !!!!

Presumably Rock regulars by the age of 11? Nope. It was all about The Sweet, The Rubettes & the first album that I got into, even aged 11, Cockney Rebel's Psychomodo whilst in Cambridge. All the punk/alterative stuff from Sheffield. SLF on the Nobody's Hero's tour. As a fourteen year old trying to get into an 18+ plus gig and succeeding.

Nah Sheff, Nuts meant the Rock pub on Cherry Hinton Road I think. On a separate note I may well have bumped into your Dad as I used to spend a fair bit of time in the Earl of Darby in the early 80s.

Strangely no Sweet or Rubettes on the jukebox.

Renshaw Road Scoots. First house that the mrs and I purchased was at the bottom of Club Garden Road. Two minutes from Harrow street. Club Garden Road was rough. Very rough.
