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 !

The Glenhead Social Club .
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 .

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 .

The Glenhead Social Club Pool Team 1984/85-1994-95 .
I've typed some but there is more to type and I want to type about the players but here's a story .
Steve W just lost a pint a game match so it's double or quits plus a £5 'er , I had my fun for the night and I was just about to leave when Steve W grabbed me and said hey , where're yo going , home I said , stay , playing for a pint and a £5 er , I've no money Steve , neither have I so I set them up you finish it . I'm sure I typed this the other night but still fresh in the memory bank . Steve W had the reputation as a bar room brawler so when I cleared up I was just glad to leave , few more stories like that but I wasn't on for playing Pool for money .

Captain my captain .
Eddie S gone , team picked itself , Big Al took over as Team Captain , picked his mates first , League rules were garbage anyway and worked against the players , there may have been one or two temp Captains in between but Big Tam stepped in and all of a sudden the team were playing brilliant again at least until i burnt out and it meant nothing any more .

Glenhead Social Club 1984/85 to 1994/95 Team Captains .
Eddie S - Big Al -Big Tam .
There may have been one or two more but it's those three that matter for this conversation .
Eddie S the original team Captain who without him I very much doubt that there would've been a Glenhead Social Club Pool Team lasted who knows maybe 4/5/6 years or so until one night away at The Peel Glen in Drumchapel and I got back from the Bar with a pint of lager and it's well that's the last we've seen of him , who I asked , Eddie S they said so I went to meet him , gave him a cuddle and asked what you used to say , your playing chess on the Pool table , white's the Queen Black's the king , what were you on about . Your playing it , you just can't see it , leave you a song , Neil Young - World On a String . I gave him a hug and that was it , never seen him since .
