Used to play snooker with Len - also some Sunday mornings bowls in Crookes Valley park along with Neville and George. My wife and I worked behind the bar for a time.

Strange that Ray. I married Margaret & Frank's eldest daughter. Perhaps we know each other.

She should we all went in the Hallamshire. Remember that charity cricket match in Graves park that Les May organised?. And that glorious Boxing Day celebration in the snug in 1979?

yes i remember the crcket i played in that frank glossop was an umpire

I've been going in the Hallamshire since 1977 and I still like a few games of snooker on Friday nights. Years ago you'd be lucky to get two games in a night, nowadays I'll have four or five.
Frank Glossop was my foreman at work 1974-1981.
I'm surprised there haven't been more people posting in this thread reminiscing about the old days in the Hallamshire.

frank glossop was my dad( just changed seats with husband)We had many a good night over the years I even played snooker occasionally (tap room only then) Did u ever join the large party card nights

I didn't play cards but had the odd game of darts when I first went in.
Tim Metcalfe (who also worked at Burrells with myself and Frank) first introduced me to the pub at Easter 1977.
You'll probably remember him I would imagine.
I didn't start playing snooker until about 1979 to be honest but have always played since then.

to hear all your remarks about all the old snooker players ia great Len and Lily Wallis are now dead and so is thier daughter Janet Brian thier son is still with us as i married him 47yrs agohe is still going strong still likes football.
