The bouncers were all serious gangsters, proper hard-as-nails career criminals! Into allsorts.
Bertie Basset has a lot to answer for.Liquorice. Just say no, kids.

Some other cracking replies in this thread! Thank you to those who've made me chuckle tonight on this downward spiral of a forum.

Did you work with/know Taffy
Yes - same era 🙂 There were two Taffys around a the time. One worked for Manny's crew and the other for Charlie. I worked all around. Did a couple of stints up the Cav - first when it was Peps and then Utopia. Some of the Friday Peps dance nights were pretty special in the early 90s. Did a little up Manhattan's, Never's and a bunch of pubs around Blackburn and Accy
Here's same roll call of some of the decent, more professional names from then, some of them good friends: Big Paul, Skinny, Chris & Karl Astley, Tugs, Dave Atherton, Sags, Hussain, Sloany, Richard (pink Cadillac & leaky Trans-am), Sally. The trouble usually came from Scouse hen parties, hangers-on from the Wilson's, Gallagher's or the gym lads. Had a couple of run-ins with the gym lot, usually when they'd buggered up their steroid cycle. Most of them were nothing by themselves, but were terrible when Tony Davis and Dave were out because they wanted to show off.
This thread has brought back a lot of memories. Was very close to starting my own security firm at one point before I decided I'd end up dead or worse and went back to college.
TooTall can you clarify what the issue with the two bits of my posts that you've quoted?
Just exactly how tall are you btw?
I worked on the door at TJ's in Newport once 😯 my mates band were playing and I was doing them a favour. Holy crap what a nerve wracking night. Nerve wracking and terrifying.
The Queen of Hearts in Nelson was a slaughter house of a club, the bouncers had such a reputation that loons and psychopaths would travel miles to take them on.
Anyone watching tonight's episode? Seems to be Sunderland is the place to go if you want 50p drinks, one punch knockouts and fat lasses falling over 😀
Tits ooot fa the ladz, like.
'I need a cuddle'
Like, 'aye pet, ya minga'
Never seen this before but being from up the north east, at least I understand the lingo!
Gangs of radge.
...new one on me.
Well worth checking out the twitter feed #bouncers
Naming and shaming aplenty. Thank Christ I was young and stupid before the interweb! 😀
Hopefully they are naming the gutless twonk in the Levis top, who was running round sucker punching people.
It was certainly interesting what's classed as 'fighting' .
To add to what's been said previously, these guys are like Ghandi compared the the head cases that worked the doors in the 90's.
It was gangs of radgies. Plural.

True, but you do wonder what would happen if the cameras were absent.
I thought I'd tuned into The Viz Channel by mistake for a bit.

chakaping - that's exactly what Mrs Binners said 😀
