Yates 1981/82

Thanks to Michelle for todays pictures along with all the details, taken when she worked in Yates back in the early 80s.
(Note the old kerb and road, all this has now been resurfaced and pedestrianised!)

[1] This photo was taken in Yates Wine Lodge, Myself, Michelle, Stevie and Davey.The year was maybe 1981/2 when I worked there . On the back I had written, "When England won a match", so we were all in good spirits lol.

[2] Just to confirm the football, outside Yates, with the forthcoming matches, Gosh those were the days.

[3] Piccie taken outside Yates across the way, not sure who the 2 lads on each end are but the lad in white t shirt is Fig ( I think that is his name, from Liverpool) worked at John Lennons.

Two photos today, the first was sent in by Jill McKay and the second one by Derek Randle.
Many thanks to both!

Photo's from Shuggie...

Shuggie has kindly sent some photos for the blog, here are the first four. I hope I have published the correct photos to match the names he gave me, if not let me know and I'll correct it.

All these photos from 1975.

Apart from the fact that the Duke photos are in black and white you will see that no-one is wearing Tee Shirts. For some reason the Big Bosses (Edgar, Alan & Geoff (goof)) decided on no Tee shirts for that year. We were back to Tee shirts the following year. Geoff is in a couple of the photos. The bottom photo from Duke of York 1. has Shuggie, Chas & Jimmy.

Although I worked for the Londoner group for most of my 4 years in Lloret I did have a spell with Teds (Moby Dick) group working in the White Horse.

The top photo in White Horse 1 has Shuggie Kelly, Des Kelly , Archie Mather, Danny Beattie, Eaddie Stewart, Maggie O'Brien, Maggies sister & Sledgehammer (Sledgie), sorry I think his proper name was Frank.

Lloret, Lloret, a place I'll never forget,

Where ever I roam near or far,

I'll remember Lloret De Mar.

All the best,

Shuggie Kelly.

La Cala

I'm sure Jill can give us the names of everyone in todays photos, the bottom one is from her own collection. The top ones are from her sister Diane, which Jill kindly sent through today along with loads more!

Three Oddments Today.....

Thanks to Michelle for the last photo (taken in Texas) which I received last night, here's what she said in her email.... ''I live in Valencia now but have been back to the UK and brought back with me all these old photos, I wont bore you with all of them now as theres at least 30 so ill do it bit by bit lol

Yates 1981/82

Thanks to Bryan for sending these 2 photos in this morning, they are from Yates 1981/82. He seems to think that he may have sent one of them in before so apologies if I have published one of these photos before...I don't think I have!

The top photo sent by John Stanley, looking back to his time spent in Lloret. John and his family are now running their own bar (Bar One) in Fuengirola. Hope they make a success of it, I'm sure they will !
