Just sticking this up here for Chester lads, as he was mentioned on the thread, apparently Les Phillips has died 74

Aye? Not seen him in years and always got him and Mick mixed up anyway. Not someone I really knew although a lot of people I used to knock around with knew him well. RIP though.

Another one of the Chester characters gone.
His twin brother Mick used to play for Chester Cricket Club in the 1970s and as mentioned on here Les had the scar courtesy of Clive Bates.

Oh no!! Sad news. Is he the lad that used to stand in The Red Lion on a Friday in his Sunderland top? Always said “alreeet?” in a sort of grunt if you said hello to him.

He was a regular in the Sombrero and the key club in the seventies from what I remember, although remembering anything when I staggered in those places is a bit of a blur. RIP Les.

I went to school with Snip’s son.... who has almost certainly inherited the nickname from his old man.

Yep, sad to see but tbh, most of the boozers down the street are really struggling. Even last night at the top end the likes of the High Crown and Black Horse all closed early. Boxing Day was really quiet too down the street.
