I’d throw in Harlequin, Shakespeare, Rutland, Gardeners, Fat Cat and Kelham Island - some real corkers there

Some of my real old faves there - and there’s a few new kids in the block like Old Shoe..love the place

Some good pubs in Sheffield mind

Player in that Fulham side with the rare distinction of never losing a game for Saints and was one of only 15 Saints to ever win a John Player trophy medal

Mad isn’t it. 30 years

#20 years

You’re within your rights

Did that a fair bit in the 80s. Remember watching a Wigan v Leeds game off the bridge!

I’ll go and look for mine from 1982

Wonderful pub but DD always reminds me of the ‘only here for the beer’ ads in the 70s

Superb in and out from him, great footwork

He got the ball and just bamboozled two defenders with footwork iirc

Remember that game - they showed it on Grandstand. Frank Feighan scored a cracking try IIRC

It’s a wonderful place - will definitely go back next time I’m down there

I loved listening to the chatter - and I’ll now associate the Kings Head with discussion on the early appearance of crocuses.

Ok - managed to get round 9 in Carlisle, top 4 would be Kings Head, Milbourne, Sportsman and then West Walls.

Last time I came to Carlisle was 1982…tidy little city, love it

Good place this, Kings Head Carlisle. In CAMRA GBG for last 20 years

Whistle stop run around Carlisle before I head back. Milbourne Arms. Decent tunes, great beer.

Yeah, apart from 5 mins at the start and five at the end the gulf really showed. Still I enjoyed seeing the reaction of all of those kids running in at the end. Old school…just in the Henry Bessemer in Workington listening to the chatter - hope the match stirred a bit of interest

Yes, remember that- and they were close in a couple more against Widnes

Yes, my dad used to talk about that 50s team…even in the mid /late 70s they had a formidable pack.
