Simple minds 'Love song' and 'Promised you a miracle' followed by Once upon a time album is missing from your list i beleive. :) A thousand pardons. List not complete without Simple Minds ~ Especially New Gold Dream. Can add plenty many more......but that was a major oversight.

In between all three. Kick off always at Shades and then the usual Iditarod finishing in Busbys or Pink Coconut unless we were crashing a party. There was a spot in Shades where all three connected bars. That was our spot.

Be careful my old son. You might be ground sharing with Gillingham before long. What contributions are you lot talking about on PikeyPalace.net? Memories of great Croydon night spots?

Another 80's casual culture debate. Bitter or Lager? It was always Lager (Grolsch, Oranjeboom, Castlemaine XXXX, Tennents Extra, Fosters) with us boys. Never bitter, god forbid cider and only after 8 pints was it acceptable to switch to vodka or bacardi. Funny as now I rarely drink anything...

Only in the sense of their existence but no details on location, experiences etc. Please fill in the void. How about that multi story club opposite the Royal Albion. This was actually on the Old Steine facing the fountain vs. Basement and others that faced the seafront. What was the name of...

Can't speak for The Cav but I loved BHA as much as the birds and the booze. The period concerned was special because I was coming of age AND it coincided with BHA in the 1st Div and Cup Final.....almost divine intervention. Wouldn't have been nearly as much fun if we were in Div 3 or 4. The...

Picking up on the thread about music, I don't believe there were any acknowledged "anthems" or soundtrack to those days beyond what was popular at that time and personal tastes. Now subject to obvious scorn (and no public admission), we used to listen and buy music as diverse as Wham, Duran...

Thanks for joining me. All the Best. Cavern - Do you remember the double gut buster? It came with a government health warning. Funny how different people had different names. We all called him "Pink Eyed Pete"...f*** knows why. Did you ever come across a big fella called "Chippy"....no...

I was in the West Stand during that game. Didn't Big Joe break his arm in the 1st half? I remember giving Bond grief whenever he came over to the touchline.

Stupid question but I seem to remember a Tranny with a strong Middle Eastern accent around town. Actually not sure what the accent was. I vividly remember being in the back of a friends Fiat 130 on Brighton Seafront and an offer to put his hand down the front of the jeans which he refused...

Ray Fubara. A chill just ran down my entire body. He was a year above me at Falmer. He shows up one day and all the usual racist nutters from the estate are queueing up to show him who is boss. Imagine the shoe on the other foot. You show up on day one as a 16 year old at Muhammed...

I'm sure quite a few have been reading this thread with the full conviction that most of it is just made up or at least embellishing. Those poor misguided lads got sent to a young offenders hotel for a stretch. Although they were mates, thank god they did get caught before they killed someone...

Just don’t ask me where that kind of behavior comes from. It’s probably latent in every human being on earth. Even you. Speak soon. I think it was the first time Chelsea came down. Two of my mates got caught and nicked on a roof top just off North St with half a dozen molotov cocktails...

Born in the greatest of all years......1966. PG was 2 years ahead of me and good mates with my older brother. How many pick up games of footie played on the courts next to the 67? With those super high wire fences that would regularly get pulled down.

Cavern. So far, so good. Grew up on the estate, went to Falmer with some of those mentioned already and many nights spent at the 67 Centre. Clarkes, Dawes, Lyons, Beaky....all the right names. The last mentioned (I recall) later involved in heavy stuff in Ulster. As someone not deeply...
