The Cotton Club burnt down a while back in mysterious circumstances. There are a decent number of Saints pubs in town who will make you welcome. You will meet many Saints fans in The Court Bar, The BankHouse, The Brewers Tap and The Bull. My wife is Irish but was brought up in Bootle. She supports Everton as well as Saints. You have chosen a good game as there is no love between Saints and Hearts. Should be a good atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I’m only 55 so good chance I might not have known him. Would he have ran about with John “The Skull” Scullion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam worked in a fruit n veg market in London and passed away quite a few years ago 🙏🏼 I'm sure Tam will be smiling down on you when you show up at the stadium Steve... yes has a sister, he also has brother who is a regular in our Pub the Jaybees in Maxwellton Street. The Gordon I think that was with Tam wasn't stocky he was slim with dark hair about 5ft 8"... his 2nd name rhymed with blade mind maybe that's where it came from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be a bit of a west ham fan. Pleasant chap, who was one of the two Saints fans that went to the Slavia Prague away game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
