I remember ReidI lived in Canterbury Road in the early 70s - ask your parents if they can remember the police house with Sgt Reid and Constable Miller in situ.
You quickly had to learn how to look after yourself in those times - there was always friction with the Town Enders whenever they ventured into our “territory”
Yes - we were all shit scared of the coppers in those days - how times have changedI remember Reid

Quinny had the place rocking until he messed about with the wrong people. Thought he was big time but went crying to the plod when it all came on top.....edit..just noticed it was mentioned later in the thread. Some of those responsible were from Sunderland and one of the others was a mad irishman based down south.If you act/acted up you will get a clip. Same as other places
