100% Ttich...Ken O Connor , also owned the oyster box...........Did you ever drink in the old Oyster box pub, around 1968/69/70?.......Syd Laird and a few of the lads used to go there after spending the day at John Marshall's tatts just down the road?.

Gene Meth and I often had a toot at the pub...that was when John still operated from the old house?? we are really shelfing our age now LOL

LOL he has been a mate of mine since the year dot and his elder brother Errol was mates with my late brother Arthur Lightening who played 'keeper for Durban United and later trained us at Stella...and now I know who you are LMAO...last time I saw you you were at the course with him and you musta been about 9...

Yip Genie the plumber lol... I'll tell him you say hi. Can't say I remember you but the ballie will probably have lots of stories to tell.

I am sure Cottonfields has gone or moved last time I went there a young lass with hot pants and a big pair of "Hooters" poured me a drink, Mrs S hates me drooling or dribbling so we had to leave early.
