diksey   17 #34 Posted September 1, 2016 Does anyone remember the bouncers at that old club in Barkers Pool? Names from the 90's like Big Jim (RIP) the former wrestler and Mick Mills, the noted Rotherham boxer?  I remember Big Jim, he was like a house side. The wrestler was Alan Kilby, he was deaf and dumb and a very tough lad. I knew a lot of the bouncers at various places, Pete Bex from the early days. Also Hungarian Mick, Joe Durrant, Ronnie Crookes and Ian McIntyre to name but a few.
