Teddy Nickelarse Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 As a nine year old I jumped up, arms in air after a goal, bloke next to me did same whilst waving his rattle and tw@ted me over the knuckles. Cold day too. Never liked them after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mus Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 God yeah, my dad bought me one, it was painted blue and white obviously! Wonder what happened to them, probably got banned later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yep, I had one of them… superb, sounded like you were being mugged by a gang of rattle snakes. We had some American friends come to stay and they bought all sorts of noisy anti social sh*t over with them including a tin bat , exactly the same size as a table tennis bat . Attached to each side was a small piece of metal on an five inch long bendy spring. When you waved it back and forth the two pieces of metal on the springs would clatter into the hollow tin bat and make the noise from hell. Whenever I used it someone standing within ten feet of me would invariably threaten to stick it up my ar$e. As I was only 7 I took those threats quite seriously and stopped using it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minesapint Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I remember making one of these in my woodwork class around 1964. Naturally enough painted blue and white. As a testimony to my DIY skills it took me bloody ages to make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying V Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 My brother handed his down to me, painted in blue and white with the players names from the early 60s written on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Something else you don’t see anymore, when people used to tear paper up into little squares and throw it in the air when the players ran out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyCraig Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 My first ever Wednesday game was the BDM and rather unfortunately that rattle or one very similar is the only thing I remember about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniele Giovanni Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 My dad took me to Bramall Lane once,don't know why, and all I recall is this united fan who was eating (I kid you not) a raw onion, he had a big rattle and every boby next to him used to stand well back, and as he shouted "united" he literally spat all bits of onion on every body else, true story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the woodwork classroom next to the playground at the old Lower School if my memory serves me correctly. Aye that’s the one… JJ Thompson was our teacher at the time. Also belted a tennis ball through one of the small panes of glass in the wooderk room…playground footie. Used to love those classrooms in the summer when both sides of the room had French doors right down each side…would have been great in Covid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
