It’s my surname but you’re probably thinking of my cousin Andy. Yep it was the Terry Hall big hair photo that threw me. Erm,that’s Robert Smith.

Oliver's for me (complete with those weird, usually out of date, bottles of foreign beer) 😂 That did seem to happen with alarming regularity at the Winking Man didn't it Olivers a bit after my time it was always the Southbank when I was around. Even more alarming was the Lake Hotel on a Saturday night when they bussed birds in from Styal Prison. Scary.

Anyway, Leek is a great town if you’re prepared to join in with the stupidity and drink heavily, we’ve got fuck all else to do.

Then try Derby. It's even worse. Mamba City. Absolute truth, both Stoke and Derby have suffered a lot and aren't the nicest towns. The difference is that the people in Derby match the city and are dull and miserable, the people in Stoke are much warmer and friendlier and remind me of Sheffield. I'd consider myself relatively impartial as I live between the two! Derby people are very strange, yet if you go out for a night out in Chesterfield or surrounding pit villages, it's great!

You have to feel a lerkk reunion coming on perhaps the sheff United game Given it’s an occasion with special,memories foe some or Notts forest away with the infamous “ printed in leek tickets “ our first away game under Durban back in division 1 think and them European champions . Now that that was a bus load and a transit van load . or Ipswich away with the van load for the 3-2 win felt like 30 people in a transit van the police just kept laughing when it unloaded outside the ground .

Leek has always been an interesting place,especially when the Sheffield clubs and Wigan have called in for a pint before a Stoke match. I think it was Wigan when it went off big time. I've never seen a set of supporters leave so quickly. However, it's very friendly if you're a Stoke fan.

Both Sheffield teams stop off in Leek if they’re playing us or Fail, they’re good lads and never cause any mither, the local pubs love them. The Wigan trouble was an FA cup tie against Leek Town.

Was born in Leek, lots of Stokies in the town, many of us with six fingers on at least one hand Thought this was brilliant though, and captures the mood of a lot of footie fans now I love Leek but the locals often take the piss out of Stokies. 'Chips,paze and mar lady' is one way they characterise us.

Come over and I'll let him sink his teeth into your miserable fucking arse. Mind you I might have to take him to the vets after to get some shots as you don't know what he might have picked up when hes munching on your scabby butt cheek. Why spoil a decent thread by being an arse? Just leave it. Why change the habit of a lifetime? The blokes a cock. And staffordstokies mate if I remember right, says it all.

A bunch of people justifying their existence by mimicking an inferior WC song and posting it online? Nah. That said I think it's incredibly short sighted of SCC to have not put anything on in one of the parks, or somewhere like the cultural quarter, it really wouldn't have taken that much organizing or financing. I'm not sure of the legalities of screening a BBC or ITV broadcast but it doesn't look like it's troubled any of the councils ,plike Nottingham, Brighton, Manchester, Newcastle, the boroughs in London. Sadly, a large screen in the Cultural Quarter is just a recipe for disaster. England win, everyone goes home happy. England lose and the knuckle-draggers ensure that Hanley gets smashed up. Not a great deal of cost to host it, but from a Risk/Reward perspective, just doesn’t make sense, sadly. I'm not sure, I still think it'd attract the majority of the 'right' sort of people.

I thought the whole shebang was brilliant... and typical. The folks from Leek are the best. I worked with a gang of them in the 60's when we were doing some major work for G Percy Trentham's on the Tittesworth reservoir. I was driving a JCB and we were putting in some drainage pipework. We had to stop one particular job because we needed a special junction and it had to be ordered. Three weeks later it arrived and a lad everybody called Winko (he really was of the six finger Leek variety) was carrying the pipe across the site when his mate went up to him with a gun (it was an athletics starter pistol) and fired it at him. The daft bugger was so scared he dropped the pipe and it smashed. So we had to wait another three weeks for a replacement. I had my first proper shag when I was 17 with a wench from Leek. Us Meir lads had gone up there for a drink and we met this bird in the pub. She was a proper nympho. Anyway, she took us out the back and all three of us shagged her. Then we went back in the pub and she drank us under the table. On the way home we slept in one of Beresford's double deckers because we were so pissed. Love the folks from Leek. Happy memories of Leek folks. OS.
