Within five minutes two birds started fighting and one coshed the other round the head with a bar stool, and that was it, the lot kicked off. Must have been a good 20 person brawl, glasses being thrown, chairs, the lot. We left our pints and hot out before the plod turned up. Never been in since. I wouldn't have left mi pint thats sacrilege 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecclesfield was local to me until 87. The ball was a great pub for young people at that time ,it's where the original Wino Express started. The Greyhound is where your parents went. I managed to pull the barmaid in the Greyhound in 1982 we're still married somehow !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greyhound was good for a drink in summer, the garden was good. As you say the Ball was a younger pub. I was 20 in 75 so I was in the Ball a lot. If we weren't down town we were in Ecclesfield.

Fishcake (we used to know him as “Mad John” or just “John”) doing his football commentaries. Chat up some lass. Pop round to Marishell’s for a chip butty.

Went in a week later and two gypsies were having a tear up, went out the front door for a fag and four riot vans and 3 cop cars were there, dogs and armed plod and we got pushed back inside to a full scale tear up with stools windows and anything you could name getting trashed. Went back a month later and two girls about 12 years old were selling BJs for a packet of fags while their Mum was munching chips sat on the wall sticking the fags in a tesco carrier bag. 2 weeks after it was shut, opened briefly and then it never opened again Love how you kept going back... Brilliant.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was an apprentice drinker in the late 80's used to go there to get served on a Friday despite only looking about 4. In the mid 90's used to go down on Sunday back when I could drink and still get up in the morning. Met my wife down Ecco, but I have lots of good memories as well.
