BILDEBORG Â Â 10 #13 Posted January 26, 2007 I remember the bear pit, the tennis courts (where my sister tried to teach me tennis) and of course the long speed boat. Does anyone remember the Salvati family that lived and worked at the restaurant? Went to school with Tina Salvati, also Andrew Cuneo, who's dad was the iced cream magnate and whose vans were always parked at the entrances to the parks......happy days.

Yerman   10 #14 Posted January 26, 2007 Wasn't there an ice cream kiosk at the bottom of the path leading up to the forerunner of Dam House.....or is my memory playing tricks?  I seem to recall that was the next port of call after a trip on the speed boat.

Yerman   10 #17 Posted January 27, 2007 There was a rumour - unconfirmed at the time - that a Scottish footballer was once found asleep one morning in the speed boat in the middle of the dam after a heavy night's drinking. At the time there was a Scottish winger at both Bramall Lane and Hillsborough - football followers of the time will know who I mean - but it was never clear which one of the two was involved.  I am sure it was little more than a rumour but does anyone know different?

Yerman   10 #20 Posted January 27, 2007 Chairboy,  Jinky was the more likely. However, 'oor Wullie' down a Hillsborough was no angel either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

CHAIRBOY   10 #22 Posted January 27, 2007 Chairboy, Jinky was the more likely. However, 'oor Wullie' down a Hillsborough was no angel either.  It was certainly Johnstone in the incident but he sadly is no longer with us. The "Wullie" you referred to was Henderson who came from Glasgow Rangers so I don't know whether he had anything to do with the former Celtic 'Jinky'?
