petcharlie   10 #11 Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) I used to work at the penguin lol gawd that was many moons ago  Saw this and wondered who you are because I worked there to.Names I remember were Olive,Tom and Winnie Billingham,Ian MaKennan, Tom Hattley.and of coarse Colin and Shiela Goddard the landlord and landlady.  ---------- Post added 22-08-2016 at 10:06 ----------  Remember the pub opening .It had a freeze on the wall in the lounge with penguins on .Forget the name of the landlord but I can picture him and his family.After a few years he took the Tinsley club and his son took a pub in Derbyshire at Bradwell called the Bowling Green With Collin Goddard taking over the Penguin.Later on the original landlord took over the Trades Club in Rotherham.

jgill506 Â Â 10 #12 Posted August 24, 2016 I remember Landlord, Colin and Sheila Goddard and Ian McKellan. I played football for the Penguin Sunday league team which finished runners up in 1972. Other players I recall at that time were Jack and Peter Bullivant, the Billau brothers, Alec McCauley, John Colville and Alan Greatorex. I've had many a pint of the lovely 'Magnet' beer and the bottled Old Ale, but sadly, neither of these are available now. In those days the pub was thriving and there were regular 'turns' arranged by the Landlord, in fact I'm pretty sure that Paul Shane appeared at some point. There also used to be a nobbly knees competition each year around Easter, which was a great laugh. Other names of people frequenting the pub at the time were Mick Crapper, Kevin Smith, Ray Kelcher, Alan Foers, David and Roger Bacon and Barry Rayner. The football team manager at the time was Charlie Glaves. Does anyone else remember these times and people? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
