Memory Lane The Sutton Arms

[LCBB72]

Some people thought he resembled Benny from Crossroads, but i doubt many told him that??.

I remember Terry at Belfairs where he was known as Hammy Hampster .

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

I've just realized that's Billy Munro on Terry's shoulders.

I've just realized that's Billy Munro on Terry's shoulders.

Yep. He was equally in both camps. That Southchurch and East Southend lot at The Golden Goblet, and The Sutton Arms. I saw him a few years ago and he didn't look well. There was not much of him anyway, but he's lost even more weight. He greeted me, and I asked if he's eating properly. So I got him a Burger King meal with a drink. Not seen him since. I fear the worst for Billy.

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

I would have thought you'd frequent Zhivago's in those days!.

The only time I went to Zhivagos was jibbing into lunchtime college bash's with Tony L and Tricky Dicky.

I was a Zhivago's lad. I loved it on a Sunday Night. It also finished early, so it didn't ruin you for work the next day. Two great characters there, R.I.P. I was at Tony's funeral, standing with Carl Connors. I remember him saying that too many of us were leaving us. One of the next to go was him. So sad.

Who could ever forget him, wearing his pirates hat, army greens & DM's, always roaming around the North Bank asking everyone if they had a spare penny ( 1p )!.
He used to do that in the Chelsea Shed end as well!.

Billy had a terrible drug problem . Anyone at the 71 Corringham massacre will remember Billy putting his hand on his hat and saying 'this way' .

[Whispering Bob]

I think the Sutton Arms installed the first Video Juke Box in Southend (circa 1982?).

Billy Munro what a character.
1970 Billy & Jaffa went to Old Trafford
Man U v Chelsea. Braces, white stay press, DM’ s, button down Ben Sherman’s and Harrington jackets. The pair of nutters looked like they had arrived from a different planet to the scruffy behind the times Mancs in their donkey jackets .chased around Old Trafford, boot imprints on their stay press, game as anything the pair survived to tell the story.

Corringhams side , we did not know him then , he was with the Tilbury crew . A guy named Tim Grodhunts found Ollie about 4/5 months later living in a bush in Chalkwell Park .

That's where I met him, at Chalkwell Park. He got the job mowing the grass on the big sit on mower. We used to wind him up and he would half heartedly chase us, but being so big and round, he had no chance. I was probably about 12 or 13. He called some of us the Quality Street Gang, but we didn't know what that meant. We then became friends, even though he was a few years older. I would go over and chat with him. I thought he was a great bloke.
