The German Bunker .
As a youngster this was weer we sat for free watching Football matches and it was great fun sitting watching football games for free but there was elders and boy were they wild ! One minute sitting at the bottom of the 'German Bomb Bunker' I wore a mustard coloured jumper that suddenly turned into the colour red , an elder at the top of the 'German Bunker' threw a house brick , watch out mate , too late , it hit me smack on the middle of my forehead , blood everywhere , I never ran so fast for home in my life . This was the days before A&E and Mum held a towel to my head and said don't worry , the bleeding will stop . True story !

The Glenhead Social Club AKA - The Hibs Club .
So I've already told the story of when the locals ran the committee and the place into the ground and Big Dougie Smith stepped in and saved the place but with that deal it included Drumchapel Amateurs football club and even though Big Dougie has passed it is all still there to this day . just the names have changed over the years .

The Glenhead Social Club - AKA The Hibs Club .
Big Tam's passing hes led to waves upon waves of so many memories it's just not true so the best place to start is the Glenhead Social Club , AKA The Hibs Club as Duntocher Hibs Football team played on the pitch , it rumoured a Double Decker Bus is buried below the Centre Circle from the War Days and yes , once upon a time as children we played in the fields , sneaked onto the hill to watch Football matches and there was a Bomb Hole we called the Bunker , it was and still is massive but it just so happened that when the German's bombed this area back in the day little did they know they created a great site to sit on the hill at the top left hand side of the hill to watch the football matches as a kid . You don't believe me ?

Gerald , you should've posted this information elsewhere ? Do you mean like in the Non Pool Section ? Where Donald said this oh no he didn't oh yes he did and PM Boris 'Bonkers' Johnson said that so now the world is in a safer place isn''t that correct because YOU said the world is in a safer place ?

Big Bill Brown .
What a character he was lol ! I very much doubt he is still alive because he lived life in the fast lane . , he got a house opposite Clydebank Cinema/Bingo Hall that became The Crucible Snooker Hall and Big Bill said have a guess what I done at my new house son ? I dunno Bill , what happened Bill . I was drunk in my new house and my sons came up to visit me and I was so drunk I walked through a glass coffee table and I lost so much blood and alcoholic's blood is thinner so in a way if my sons never payed a visit , I wouldn't be here .

Big Bill .
He was such an alcoholic it was good fun to meet him just to hear his stories of what happened next
lol ! So I met Big Bill on Kilbowie Road Clydebank after he cashed in selling his house and kept the money lol ! Big Bill said to me I now live at Graham Ave . top of the hill , I go to ASDA 1st thing in the morning for my booze then get home and travel up the town for the rest of the day so have a think about that son he said .

The Glenhead Social Club .
Big Bill Brown , what a man , covered head to tails in bruises , order me a pint at the Bar son and I will tell you a story . What happened Bill ? I was so drunk last night I fell down the stairs he said and when I got home I was so drunk I fell going up the stairs and when I woke up I went first thing in the morning to the off sales their and back I fell . I used to love Big Bill's stories and one day he was gone from the pub , he'd sold his house for a cash in hand deal £26,000 I heard he got a guy from the Doublet Pool Team bought it it was worth maybe 4 times as much . Big Bill sobered up and I met him , she was getting **** all son so I sold up and split the money with my sons lol !

Right now I'm really tired but I feel the need to tell you about some of the punters I met there one such man was Big Bill Brown , he was a laid off worker , on the sick as was his wife and they had a Pitbull dog , can't remember it's name but they could sit from opening time 11am until closing time Midnight and beyond if it was a lock in / Big Bill pulled me aside and said the way you swallow the lager reminds me of me back in the day so watch it son , I got hooked early on Cider and it ruined me , pretty soon Big Bill and his wife split up after a DWP Welfare rule came in that only allowed one person per household to be able to apply for Sickness Benefits , they soon split , don't know who got the Pitbull dog .

Duntocher Hibernian F.C. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duntocher_Hibernian_F.C.
It's so sad on many levels thinking back , the elders smashing a fence post so that you could sneak into the field to watch football matches or you could go the long way and walk through a fields to sit on the hill to watch football matches so maybe 43/42 years ago and now those same fields have houses built on them . It really was better in those days !

Young Tam runs this web site and streams matches , he is a great player and when my computer bust a few years ago a chance meeting , he gave me an old Laptop he had and it kept me in touch with AZBilliards , cost me a 6-3 defeat at the pool right enough lol !

Cues .When your cue gets stolen it is an absolute heartbreaker and I knew it just had to be a player from The Peel who stole it so I cursed it to whoever stole my cue may you never ever win a game of Pool with my magic wand ever ever again .
