Mark Kerr - interim assistant manager to Sandy Stewart at Ayr Utd.

Elton John's boots from the mid 70s would provide a nice funnel for him to accurately carry out his party piece

Christ is he still there? I thought he'd have just packed it in after 6 months, upon deciding he just didn't fancy it.

He must really dig the local connection - as hartlepool is a fucking shithole.

[Fridge]

Agreed I was down at the preseason friendly tour when they cancelled the Carlisle game as they were expecting trouble after the pitch invasion at Hartlepool.

 

Place was a total dump. Plus they hung a monkey, what the fuck is that about.

[Fridge]

Thought it was a German spy or some shit.

[alscotoz]

Been to Hartlepool. Or was it Darlington? Easily forgotten because whichever one it was, it was worse than shite.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

That was England.

[Guest the shepherd]

Worked in Hartlepool for a while. It is a dump, however I blame the ruling Tory government allowing the depravity and desolation sweeping the streets of Hartlepool to occur just because it is a Labour stronghold. Childish, inhumane bastards.

 

Whilst there I stayed in digs in Seaton Carew, the home of champion canoeist John Darwin.

Looked it up it was French not German. Fuck knows what it has got to do with Boddam, never heard of that before:

 

According to local folklore, the term originates from an incident in which a monkey was hanged in Hartlepool, England. During the Napoleonic Wars, a French ship of the type chasse marée was wrecked in a storm off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor from the ship was a monkey, allegedly dressed in a French army uniform to provide amusement for the crew. On finding the monkey on the beach, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions and because they had seen neither a monkey nor a Frenchman before, they concluded that the monkey must be a French spy.[2] Being found guilty, the animal was duly sentenced to death and was summarily hanged on the beach.

 

An alternative theory is that it was a young boy who was hanged (the term "powder-monkey" was commonly used at the time for children employed on naval warships to prime the cannon with gunpowder).[3]

 

An earlier and remarkably similar monkey-hanging legend with a similar associated song refers to the inhabitants of Boddam, Aberdeenshire.[4] With similar lyrics and scansion ("And the Boddamers hung the Monkey, O") it is plausible that Ned Corvan heard and adapted the song while travelling the Scottish Lowlands with Blind Willie Purvis.

[RAZOR]

That was England.

Prefer the newer ones than the original.

I didn’t even have a fucking clue who that was at first glance. Might have been a good player for us but still a money grabbing cunt

[Ke1t]

Anyone been to Wigan?

 

I've never been there, but I imagine it's fucking appalling. 

[Fridge]

Higgnet was brilliant albeit only for a short while. Blinkers Og still amuses me to this day.
