I once went to a wedding in Scunthorpe and ended up in the wrong church. It was only when the Groom arrived that I realised that I should have been in another church 200 yards down the road.

Should have realised earlier since the lad whose wedding it was is black.
 
Scared the shit out of me when i went to watch Sunderland play there in the cup 1987-8,that's my abiding memory of Scunthorpe.

An unpleasant day all round. Playing in the 2nd round of the cup, getting beat then a copper on horseback taking a swipe at me with a large stick.
Luckily someone dragged me behind car just before he hit me.
All I was doing was heading for the bus, all the bother was at the other end of the road.:evil:
 
Knacked up a 'both teams score' bet a while back.

Had 17 out of 18 teams all score - cheers Scunthorpe, I didn't really want a couple of hundred quid anyway.

Wiping those Leeds United fans out at the pub, before the '87 cup game.
And yes, they were Leeds, not Scunthorpe.
The Mulberry Bush, or something was it not called?


my abiding memory of Scunny though, was stopping there on the way to a Northern Soul All-Nighter at Cleethorpes Winter Gardens. About '77/'78
Stopped at a pub right nextdoor to the Steelworks.
Was like the Rovers Return with about 20 Albert Tatlocks sitting there nursing their pints.

Me mate notices a piano in the corner of the bar.
Walks over and starts tinkling away. (Didn't even know he could play).
Starts playing this :-

We all started dancing.
And two of the Alberts got up anarl.
Never seen two 60-year-old gadgies dancing to Soul Music ever (Before or since).
f***ing hilarious.
